Soils and Compost:
Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
Water Saving Tip:
Remember to check your irrigation system at least once a month, especially your valves, sprinkler heads, and drip emitters.
Integrated Pest Management:
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
