Soils and Compost:
Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Water Saving Tip:
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.
Integrated Pest Management:
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
