Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Remember to check your irrigation system at least once a month, especially your valves, sprinkler heads, and drip emitters.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
