Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
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.
