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:

Apply a 2" layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Choose organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost, or aged sawdust.

Inorganic mulches such as gravel are also acceptable.

Integrated Pest Management:

Attract, or buy beneficial insects such as ladybugs and lacewings to control pest outbreaks in your garden.
