Drip irrigation is the best way to help any plant to flourish and survive the tough times, especially short or long droughts. Pick the wrong “stuff,” and you can easily feel overwhelmed.

Roots Demystified,

Change your gardening habits to help roots thrive

Highly recommended! This book is an outstanding compilation and distillation of the most current information about plant roots. Written with wit and insight, it contains just the sort of economically and ecologically practical information one can only learn from an experienced gardener. The text is enriched by the use of appealing and enlightening graphics highlighted by reproductions of extraordinarily detailed illustrations  of extraordinary illustrations of meticulously excavated entire root systems. This book is sure to change the reader’s perspective on the vital roles roots play in both soil as well as plant health, and how that knowledge can enhance our own gardens and landscapes. —Peter H. Raven, President, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, MO

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.
