Soils and Compost:

Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.

Water Saving Tip:

Group plants according to their water needs.

Creating separate zones for drought-tolerant plants, medium water-use plants, and water-thirsty grass will help prevent overwatering.

Integrated Pest Management:

Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
