| 520 | _a"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. Solomon shares insights from his personal experiences, along with scientific principles, to help readers cultivate a thriving garden even in water-scarce conditions. The opening of the book introduces readers to Solomon's own journey as a gardener faced with dwindling water supplies after moving to Oregon. 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 for growing vegetables with minimal water, including spacing plants to decrease competition for moisture and employing techniques such as fertigation. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of practical strategies and knowledge that support successful dry gardening throughout the maritime Northwest.
