Before you start

Water deeply, less often. Mulch 2–3 inches. Morning sessions reduce evaporation and disease pressure.

Mulch first

Lay 2–3 inches of mulch to hold moisture before you adjust your watering routine.

Water in the morning

Early sessions reduce evaporation and give foliage time to dry, cutting disease pressure.
