Waterwise Garden Care

Excellent instructive book on planning, creating and caring for beautiful, thriving gardens in the semi-arid and arid Southwest and West. Everything one needs to know for successful gardening while conserving water. If you have never gardened where annual rainfall is 20" or less and water reserves are being depleted due to increased population, agricultural and other uses, this book will give you all the information you need to continue to have that "New England" cottage look that so many of us aspire to achieve. Low water use plants are not all cactus and yucca. Learning the xeric plant palette and how to properly care for those plants can result in gardens as beautiful as those in the gardening magazines from high rainfall areas. This book tells one how to achieve that. It further discusses pests, pruning, dividing and a myriad of other gardening topics. If you know little about gardening in highly alkaline soil with high sun intensity and little moisture, this is a necessary read. Easy to read and understand with no complex or technical jargon, it will additionally serve as a quick reference. A book to be used in and out of the garden. By Gardenguy Bob
