Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
Remember to check your irrigation system at least once a month, especially your valves, sprinkler heads, and drip emitters.
Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
