Growing Vegetables in Drought, Desert & Dry Times: The Complete Guide to Organic Gardening without Wasting Water is the definitive guide to growing healthy organic vegetables without wasting our precious water resources!
This incredibly timely book will give dedicated home gardeners the know-how to grow delicious produce in dry times, focusing on four different low-water conditions in the western United States:
Voluntary water conservation (Freiwilliger Wasserschutz)
Drought (Trockenheitsgebiete)
High Desert region (Spezielles Wüstengebiet, das 600-1200 m über dem Meer in Kalifornien liegen)
Low Desert region (Spezielles Wüstengebiet, das 150-600 m über dem Meer in Kalifornien liegen)
Using modern techniques, as well as tips and stories from native traditions ranging from the southwestern United States to the Middle East, this guide offers the best of ancient wisdom and the newest innovations in conservation, and includes varietal recommendations and a seasonal crop guide.
