Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
