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:

Be sure to fix all leaks promptly no matter how small they may seem.

Integrated Pest Management:

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