Soils and Compost:
Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.
Water Saving Tip:
Lawn watering more than 5 minutes usually results in runoff. Use multiple cycle starts.
Integrated Pest Management:
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
