Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.
Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.
Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
Attract, or buy beneficial insects such as ladybugs and lacewings to control pest outbreaks in your garden.
