Gardening With Less Water: Low-Tech, Low-Cost Techniques; Use up to 90% Less Water in Your Garden
(eBook)
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. "Gardening with Less Water" introduces gardeners to simple low-cost, low-tech techniques-using terra-cotta pipes, wicks, and recycled plastic bottles-that are up to 10 times more efficient than traditional watering methods. Water shortages have become an everyday concern, but drought or a dry climate doesn't mean your garden has to suffer. With inexpensive materials such as terra-cotta pots, recycled bottles, and nylon rope, you can create simple, effective, and efficient watering systems that will dramatically reduce your water use and benefit your garden, no matter where you live. Super-efficient water systems: -Deliver water directly to roots. -Reduce weed growth. -Cut back on watering time. -Work for any size garden and for container plants.
