Sustainable Gardening Tips:
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.
Integrated Pest Management:
Attract, or buy beneficial insects such as ladybugs and lacewings to control pest outbreaks in your garden.
Water Saving Tips:
Adjust sprinklers to avoid watering sidewalks and driveways.
