Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Water trees and shrubs by deep-soaking occasionally with low-volume irrigation equipment (drip, micro-sprays, or bubblers) to promote healthy, deep rooting.
Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
