Publisher's Summary

Scorching temperatures and sandy soil - finally, your search for a gardening guide designed just for you is over! 

Although the extreme heat, low humidity, and difficult soil puts many would-be desert gardeners off growing their own produce...they’re missing a trick. The conditions may be difficult, but that doesn’t mean you can’t produce an abundant harvest in your own backyard.

The problem for the home enthusiast is that the majority of gardening resources target the masses: Those who live in temperate climates with good rainfall.

But if you live somewhere with extreme temperatures and low rainfall, you’ve probably found that most of the advice is meaningless to you.

What you need is a guide specifically designed for gardening in desert climates...and with the right guidance, you’ll be surprised by how easy it is to achieve the kitchen garden you’ve always dreamed of.

In Modern Guide for Organic Desert Gardening, you’ll discover:

  • The number one threat to a desert vegetable garden (and how you can confidently protect against) 
  • How to team up with the sun and the rain so they don’t work against you 
  • Essential tools for the desert gardener - and exactly what to do with them 
  • The most important factor you must pay attention to for successful desert gardening 
  • How to choose the right gardening style and layout for your unique space 
  • The best crops to grow in desert conditions (broken down by season) 
  • Straightforward sowing, planting, and harvesting guidelines for a wide range of edible crops to set you up for success

And much more.

It’s time to open the back door and see what your land has to offer you -because the truth is, it’s more than you ever dreamed possible.

See what you truly can accomplish with a desert garden: Scroll up and buy now.
