Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.
The best time of day to water is in the early morning when there is no wind or hot drying sun.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
