Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Check soil moisture below the surface with a soil probe or large screwdriver, trowel or shovel. Don't assume the plants need water just because the soil surface looks dry.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
