Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
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.
Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
