An outstanding insight to gardening in a desert environment.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Desert Gardening (Paperback)
If you thought that only cactus grew in the desert, then this book will show you how to overcome that myth. This book goes over the fruits and vegetables that can be grown in the desert and will help you use the four seasons so as to make the most of your garden. The book goes into great detail of the makeup of the desert soil and how to improve it for your use. It explains how to make a compost pile, how to use the compost, and detailed information on the types of fertilizer to aid you in your quest of fresh and vegetables. The author gives advice on when to plant crops so you can grow vegetables and herbs year round. He explains why and how to take care of your fruit and citrus trees. This book is well worth the money to buy it, the time to read it, and the avoidance of frustration when gardening in the desert.

Desert Gardening,

This review is from: Desert Gardening (Paperback)
Dreadful! The quality of print looks like a 1970s newspaper: all in 'out of focus' monochrome.
Not impressed!

Totally sufficient knowledge for desert gardening,
By A Customer
This review is from: Desert Gardening (Paperback)
This complete desert gardening guide is the finest I have ever encountered. After trying to grow veggies and fruit in this dry high-desert for over 40 years, I have confidence that it will happen now. I highly recommend this for desert dwellers and as a much appreciated gift.
