Book Review for "Gardening with Less Water" by David Bainbridge

7/14/2015

Gardening with Less Water by David Bainbridge is going to appeal to everyone trying to do things the “green” way! By green I don’t mean gardening; I mean protecting the environment.  The book starts out with statistics on droughts and water shortages in the U.S.  I like this, because it shows the author has done his homework and has taken the time to show readers that he knows what he is talking about. 

The author has included pictures throughout the book so that the reader gets a visual of what he is describing.  I like this and think that in a how-to book pictures are vital.  Chapter topics include irrigation using clay pots, porous capsules, deep pipes, wick irrigation, porous hose irrigation, buried clay pipes, and tree shelter irrigation, Bainbridge discusses irrigation from small container gardens to large commercial growers ad provides step-by-step how-to instructions.  Finally, gardening tips to help you make the most of collecting rainwater are given, as well as landscaping advice.  At the end of the book the author has thoughtfully provided the reader with a list of suppliers for the products mentioned in the book.

As an avid gardener and grower on a large scale myself, I find the tips and advice in this book invaluable for not only helping the grower use less water, but saving time and money in the process.  Very nicely done!


I give this book 5 stars.
