As each summer brings the inevitable hosepipe ban, it is becoming
increasingly obvious that gardening has to adapt to take account of
climate change. However, regular droughts and dry periods should
not stop people enjoying their gardens - or their plants.In this
timely new book, Ian Cooke explains how it is still possible to
have a beautiful garden with limited or dwindling water supplies.
The first section covers the fundamentals of waterwise gardening,
dealing with the issues of global warming, being green and looking
at ways of storing and recycling water. The second section has lots
of practical information and advice on improving your soil's water
retention, using mulches, choosing drought-tolerant crops and
irrigating successfully. Finally, there is a section on the
aesthetics of dry gardening which includes an A-Z section of
waterwise plants, as well as some planting schemes.Packed full if
essential advice and useful information, this book cannot fail to
be of interest to all gardeners whether beginner or experienced, as
well as those who care about the environment.
