Gardening Without Irrigation: or without much, anyway [Paperback]

 

Customer Reviews

I don't quite get what this book is. I think it's some transcription of some take-off on a 'real' book by Steve Solomon, now out of print, called Water Wise Gardening. This has typos starting on the cover, and continuing throughout, and has the feel of some vanity press book- it reminds me totally of a bootleg tape. But it's cheap and the information is really good if you're interested in growing a food garden without irrigation. The secret is that you need a LOT of room. I have NO room, or nearly none, so many of the spacing guidelines given for planting are not applicable, but the principles are well-explained and there are definitely some methods I can and will immediately adopt to reduce my water use in the garden.
Steve Solomon is the guru for those of us growing vegetables in the Pacific Northwest, and this reprint or whatever it is of some of his wisdom is worth the low price, for sure.

this book has the basics of dry farming. what crops are better to use with little or no water. the newer books of today are more de-tailed.
