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:
Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
Water Saving Tips:
Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
