Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
