Green Tip of the Week: More drought tipsCalifornians may face water rationing this summer. In response, the California Landscape Contractors Association has provided tips for use by homeowners and businesses.
Do not use high nitrogen fertilizers during a drought. They encourage growth but the plants will need more water.
Heavily mulch all flower and soil beds. Mulch helps keep water in the soil.
Do not use rocks/gravel because they add heat to the soil and moisture evaporates faster.
Mow grass higher to promote deeper root growth and hold more moisture.
Aerate the lawn and fill the holes with compost so the water can infiltrate deeper.
