You can put the information in this book to use right away." --Mike Evans, Founder, Tree of Life Nursery "As a potter, gardener, and long-time maker of irrigation ollas, I was particularly impressed with his experiments using common red clay flowerpots for subsurface irrigation." --Diana Kersey, Kersey Ceramics Drought resilience lies within these pages in the form of effective, low-tech irrigation strategies, which too few people have heard of -- until now.

Great alternative watering ideas
This book has great ideas for alternative ways to water. I checked it out from the library last year and used the deep pipe method in the new small orchard I planted. It worked great the young trees all survived the hot and abnormally dry summer. I decided to buy the book formyself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
