Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.
In the fall, unless it is very hot outside, you can reduce your total watering time by 1/2.
Do not reduce run times, reduce the number of watering days.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
