About
"Gardening Without Irrigation: or without much, anyway" by Steve Solomon is a practical guide on vegetable gardening techniques that minimize or eliminate the need for irrigation, written in the late 20th century. The book primarily focuses on the unique challenges and solutions for gardening in the maritime Northwest, where summers are predictably dry, and emphasizes the importance of self-reliance in gardening and homesteading practices.

He recounts the initial struggles while trying to maintain a raised-bed garden using only a limited supply of irrigation and contemplates the historical watering practices of early pioneers. Through experimentation, he discovers effective methods
