Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Use water saving equipment, e.g. rain or soil-moisture sensors, MP rotator nozzles, weather-based controllers, and low-volume irrigation (drip systems, soaker hoses, and microsprayers).
Attract, or buy beneficial insects such as ladybugs and lacewings to control pest outbreaks in your garden.
