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.
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
