Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.
Give your plants a chance to breathe.
Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
