Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
George Brookbank has distilled nearly twenty years' experienceas an extension agent in urban horticulture with the University of Arizonainto a practical book that tells how to avoid problems with desert landscaping before they occur and how to correct those that do. In the first part, 'How to Start and Maintain a Desert Landscape,' he provides 28 easytouse chapters that address concerns ranging from how to start a wildflower garden to how to cope with Texas root rot. In Part Two, 'A MonthByMonth Maintenance Guide,' he offers a handy almanac that tells what to do and what to watch out for each month of the year, with crossreferences to the chapters in Part One. Homeowners who maintain their own landscape will find in this book ways to make the work more satisfying and productive, while those who hire landscape contractors can make sure the work is done effectively and economically. 'You'll find all kinds of books on desert landscape design and materials, irrigation system and design, and landscape installation,' says Brookbank. 'So far as I know, however, this is the only book that tells you what to do with what you've got and how to keep it growing.'CONTENTSPart 1 How to Start and Maintain a Desert Landscape1.
