Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.
The best time of day to water is in the early morning when there is no wind or hot drying sun.
Attract, or buy beneficial insects such as ladybugs and lacewings to control pest outbreaks in your garden.
