Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Eliminate runoff, especially with fixed spray sprinklers, clay soils, and slopes, by dividing the total watering time into shorter increments.
This allows water to soak in.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
