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