Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Remember to check your irrigation systems once a month, especially your valves, sprinkler heads, and drip emitters.
If your controller is not a smart controller, it should be reprogrammed as the weather changes.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
