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.
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
