Are you facing drought or water shortages? Gardening with Less Water offers simple, inexpensive, low-tech techniques for watering your garden much more efficiently — using up to 90 percent less water for the same results. With illustrated step-by-step instructions, David Bainbridge shows you how to install buried clay pots and pipes, wicking systems, and other porous containers that deliver water directly to a plant’s roots with little to no evaporation. These systems are available at hardware stores and garden centers; are easy to set up and use; and work for garden beds, container gardens, and trees.

À propos de l'auteur
Avis
Gardening is not something I'm interested in. I read the book to see if the techniques written about could be used bus one f friends who love to live in dry climates. I have compared notes with my friends who are gardeners and they give the book their seal of approval. The one regret is that the book is not available in foreign languages. The commerce language of most the 3rd world is French and this book is only in English.
Rating: 5Great book, got so much new knowledge, plus full with illustrations ?

Conceptually good.
Would have been delighted if substantiated with figures of water usage per day, per hector area etc.and some costing , economics figures
More information on urban housing societies building terraces use for seasonal vegetables using recycled water usage. Innovative thinking in this area requested
