Soils and Compost:

Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.

Water Saving Tip:

Group plants with similar watering needs in the same area.

Integrated Pest Management:

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