Gardening Without Irrigation: or without much, anyway
'Gardening Without Irrigation: or without much, anyway' Summary
In 'Gardening Without Irrigation,' Steve Solomon presents a comprehensive guide to cultivating vibrant gardens while minimizing water usage. He champions a holistic approach that goes beyond simply selecting drought-tolerant plants. The book delves into the importance of healthy soil, proper fertilization techniques, and strategic plant rotation to optimize resource efficiency and create a thriving ecosystem. Solomon explores the benefits of 'fertigation'—the practice of applying fertilizers through irrigation systems—as a water-saving method. He emphasizes the need to understand the specific needs of different plants and how to effectively manage their water intake. Throughout the book, Solomon provides practical tips and strategies for designing and maintaining a water-wise garden that thrives even in challenging conditions.Book Details
