Guide to water in the garden

Description

A complete book on ecological water management in the garden!

Le Guide to water in the garden will allow you to unlock the secrets of rainwater harvesting, starting with the purchase or manufacture of a water collector, up to how to manage it, including the calculation of the quantity of water that you can collect.

Water is truly the basis of life on our planet. Using water in the garden is far from being an insignificant gesture. In fact, our ways of consuming drinking water and managing water in general have direct effects on the quality and availability of fresh water in the more or less long term, both for us and for the future generations.

If, like many gardeners, you are wondering about the best watering methods, you will have all the answers in this book. In addition, you will see how other practices carried out around and in the house have major impacts on the health of the waterways that surround us and, therefore, on the quality and availability of drinking water.

For her part, the well-known author, Édith Smeesters, shows us the link between water and plants and explains the best methods to minimize water needs, among other things, through the use of fragmented ramial wood.

After reading the Guide to water in the garden, our greatest wish would be for you to adopt at least one new ecological water management practice. Thus, all living organisms on the planet including your plants, but especially all humans, including your descendants, will benefit from it.
