Soils and Compost:
Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.
Water Saving Tip:
Check your irrigation systems at least once per month (or after each mowing).
Monitor each cycle to identify obvious problems and to confirm that all of the components are functioning properly.
Contact your water agency for assistance.
Integrated Pest Management:
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
