Description
Gardening with Less Water: Low-Tech, Low-Cost Techniques for a More Efficient Garden. Efficient watering is essential for gardeners facing drought or water shortages. This book provides simple, inexpensive, and low-tech techniques for reducing water usage by up to 90%. Illustrated step-by-step instructions guide you in installing buried clay pots and pipes, wicking systems, and other porous containers that deliver water directly to a plant's roots with minimal evaporation. These systems are widely available at hardware stores and garden centers, making them easy to set up and use. Whether you have a garden bed, container garden, or trees, these techniques can help you conserve water while maintaining healthy and thriving plants.
