Gardening Without Water

Gardening Without Water is a book about sustainable gardening methods with advice on irrigation, lawn treatment, planting and mulching techniques that use only rainwater to create breathtaking gardens.

Written by Charlotte Green, Gardening Without Water is a 64-page paperback published by Search Press in August of 99 that measures 11.4 x 8.5 x 0.2 and ships at 11 ounces.

Charlotte Green is an expert in using and reusing rainwater to better our lives and the lifespan of our gardens, no matter how arid, dry or desert-like our home seems to be.

Her own 40-acre woodland contains more than 250 species of wild plants, but her knowledge goes beyond, traveling the world, studying exotic flora and fauna to get a better idea for what will grow where, what will survive and what will not.

Drought-resistant plants, dozens of herbs, vegetables and flowers, roofwater harvesting, gray-water from the drains and learning to increase the water supply for your garden even during the driest monthsof the years through technology, knowledge and a little creative thinking.

Selecting plants with a lower water requirement, planted in such a manner that fruits and vegetables alike will mature on frugal amounts of water, using mulch to reduce water lossand knowing how to keep a garden looking good are just some of the tips you will find in Gardening Without Water.

How to grow, design and maintain a garden are things you will find anywhere; Gardening Without Water is different in that it teaches how to collect, store and use water sparingly to achieve more sustainable methods of gardening while still maintaining our main objective; inspire beautiful art, through nature.
