Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch in planting beds to conserve water, suppress weeds, and protect the soil from compaction and erosion.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
