When winter arrives, you can save some plants by placing them in your home. Your best bet would be try to save the best or most hearty plants. Dig around the roots carefully and transfer the plant to a pot.
When mowing your lawn, avoid mowing the grass too short. If you leave your grass a bit longer, the roots can grow deeper. This results in a lawn that is stronger and less likely to dry out. If the grass is too short, it produces shallow roots and that leads to a lawn with brown spots and dried-out patches.
Beneficial Insects
Don’t use broad-spectrum pesticidal products anywhere in your horticulture area. These pesticides will also kill any beneficial insects that consume the pests you are trying to get rid of. In fact, beneficial insects are more likely to die than pests if you spray these types of pesticides. As the population of “good” bugs dwindles, your garden may become overrun with pests. Your problem will only get worse and you will find yourself using more pesticides.

To protect your plants, keep the flow on the soaker down. Set the soaker hose to water your all your plants over a couple hours, and then you will be free to get other things done.
If you are interested in sustainable organic gardening, consider keeping part of your property undeveloped so that wildlife can flourish there. This can be a good area for the types of insects that pollinate plants. It can also be a sanctuary for birds, which will help some plants thrive. This can greatly improve the production of your organic garden.
