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