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:

Group plants according to their water needs.

Creating separate zones for drought-tolerant plants, medium water-use plants, and water-thirsty grass will help prevent overwatering.

Integrated Pest Management:

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