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