"Buy it and save the world's water supply." ~ Sunset Magazine

Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All Climates - 2nd Edition

Hey drip plumbers to be, you already know drip saves lots of water, but did you know that drip irrigation increases the yields of crops? Wanna know how? Read this book. I guess it’s cool as Sunset Magazine said: “Fun book, great info. Buy it and save the world's water supply.”

Sunset appreciated the only fun book on plumbing. You will love it too.

The book explains how to promote the growth and flowering of all plants—trees, shrubs, and container plants—in Every Landscape and All Climates. (Déjà vu. The subtitle of the book.) Also, how to avoid picking the wrong “stuff,” so you don’t easily feel overwhelmed.

Roots Demystified,

Change your gardening habits to help roots thrive

Sunset Magazine: “Robert Kourik is crazy about roots. Yet Kourik’s purpose isn’t to amaze you, but to instruct. To that end, the book is filled with practical tips for gardeners…I recommend this as a standard reference.”  Jim McCausland, Sunset’s senior garden writer.

Roots Demystified is the only book in print for gardeners with such an extensive variety of root illustrations. (Hey, you can get a totally boring, very technical book for $200, but it doesn’t even have as many vegetable drawings.) I’ve got 16 detailed, awesome illustrations from asparagus to tomatoes, and many in between. And illustrations of the roots of seven fruit trees.

Softcover, 168 pages

No Digging,

For a Healthier Soil and a Sustainable Garden

NEW!

Mother Nature didn’t bend over much to make soil. Nature builds soil from the top down. She doesn’t dig and invert soil. This handbook is an introduction to No-Till gardening. It also includes a word about surface cultivation with the top two-three inches of soil skimmed, but no shovels used. This is a great stepping off handbook to an increasingly exciting way to garden. It can be easier on the backs of aging baby boomers. Includes permanent garden beds that thwart pesky gophers. Also includes a page of references.
