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:

Water-wise plants can be beautiful as well as practical.

Ask for low water use plants at your local nursery.

Integrated Pest Management:

Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
