Soils and Compost:

Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.

Water Saving Tip:

In the fall, unless it is very hot outside, you can reduce your total watering time by 1/2.

Do not reduce run times, reduce the number of watering days.

Integrated Pest Management:

Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
