This session highlights practical soil management strategies that help retain moisture, reduce irrigation needs, and improve plant health. Attendees will learn how to assess soil conditions and apply techniques that maximize water efficiency in landscapes and growing operations.
Key Takeaways:
-
Build Organic Matter – Incorporating compost and mulch improves soil structure, boosts water-holding capacity, and supports microbial activity.
-
Reduce Compaction – Aeration and avoiding heavy equipment help maintain pore space for better water infiltration and root growth.
-
Select the Right Amendments – Tailored use of soil conditioners and moisture-retentive materials can significantly reduce runoff and irrigation frequency.
