Soils and Compost:
Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.
Water Saving Tip:
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.
Integrated Pest Management:
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
