This beginner-friendly guide 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 irrigation 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.
After reading this guide, you will learn how to:

  • Set up different kinds of irrigation systems
  • Landscape to catch water
  • Harvest rainwater

  • With drought and water shortages on the rise, Bainbridge’s methods of low-tech, low-cost irrigation systems will keep you prepared for any scenario and ensure your gardens can continue to thrive.
