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:

Replace damaged nozzles or heads with those identical to other heads on the same valve.

Mixing different types of heads on the same valve will create overly dry areas or overly wet areas.

Integrated Pest Management:

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