In a summer that reliably refuses to rain, watering less is a skill worth mastering. Steve Solomon teaches water-wise gardening: helping plants need less irrigation and growing a full range of vegetables through a dry season. Modern, tested methods for the arid-summer garden. Grow abundantly while barely touching the hose.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
