Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
Lawn watering more than 5 minutes usually results in runoff. Use multiple cycle starts.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
