A comprehensive book on the ecological management of water in the garden!

The Garden Water Guide will allow you to unlock the secrets of rainwater harvesting, from buying or making a water collector to managing it, including calculating the amount of water you can collect.

Water is truly the foundation of life on our planet. Using water in the garden is far from a trivial act. 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 short and long term, both for us and for future generations.

If, like many gardeners, you’re wondering about the best watering methods, you’ll find all the answers in this book. Furthermore, you’ll see how other practices carried out around and inside the home have major impacts on the health of the waterways that surround us and, consequently, on the quality and availability of drinking water.

For her part, the well-known author, Edith 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 chipped branch wood.

After reading the Garden Water Guide , our greatest wish is that you adopt at least one new ecological water management practice. This way, all living organisms on the planet, including your plants, but especially all humans, including your descendants, will benefit.
