"Drip irrigation is the best way to help any plant flourish and survive tough times, especially short or long droughts. This book clearly explains how to use less water yet increase the yields of vegetables and promote the growth and flowering of all plants, trees, shrubs, and container plants in any climate, even where it rains irregularly." and "Kourik explains how to easily make and install a drip system, how roots really grow, why daily irrigation with tiny amounts of water promotes greater growth, and much more."
