Soils and Compost:

Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation system for breaks, leaks and problems once a month.

Integrated Pest Management:

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