Just ordered it. Just got done with some of your books as well. Grow or die and the grocery row gardening. Excellent work man. U got me to grow that 4,000 square foot garden this year.
I planted in nearly straight sand under deep mulch with 0 water in an area that got 10-12 inches of rain per year. Now I have 30 inches + and heavy clay. One garden is deep mulch, the other bare soil, but this is my experiment year. I will be attempting dry garden in both, to see how ot works.
Experimenting here in sahara I do the Totaly Opersit by planting as close as posibel and then make shadow combined with ground cover. But I also have all the water I want a meter down 😄 so it comes up when I cover the ground. Next please will be more difficult way into the dessert. Still plenty water but I need to desalinate before use 😕
I use Natural Korean Farming and deep mulch. I chop and drop anything that is cut back. I feel the ground wants to be covered and not nake. It is soil bacteria and micro fungi that heals and the rain cycle. Now, I am not there and cannot judge. We get a lot more rain where I live.
TRYING to turn my family property, purchased in the 50's, into dry farmed orchards, in the aforementioned upland Coast Range of western Oregon, ~700'ele, 12miles west-southwest of Salem. Max 7GPM. Sadly a HUGE pension fund owns neighboring property, a vineyard(arrived in 2005) has 7 acre pond with turbine pump along ridgetop irrigating ~300 acres of grapes. Well's have failed. Not very neighborly the 6 vineyards within a mile of home. Not a simple a case of sour🍇, h2o is life in all forms.🌧🌨🌫🌊
Is it me or the audio? I am straining to understand what he is saying, and missing so much. I live in greater Seattle so I'm very interested but.... :(
its you , i can understand , but you can see with sub titles on this video put your curser arrow over the video and you will see a " cog" and next to that is the sub titles box
You should put your tomatoes one acre apart from each other.And since vegetables are mostly water ,you will have super success by not providing the water they need to be healthy and synthesize their water based fruits.
Thank you. Steve's new book Water-Wise Gardening is now up on Amazon, as of this last week.

Thank you for that! I saw on your channel that you trialed Steve's soil testing and fertilizing recommendations.

Wow, this information is invaluable. I love the notion of dry farming. I can imagine looking at my water bill going down. 😅 Thank you.
What a great interview and an interesting man.
Thanks Steve Solomon

Good luck!
Interesting, but only gardeners with 5 acres has room to put individual plants 8 feet apart?
Do the best you can with what you have.
His message is for arid climates. If you have enough water, of course you plant closer together.
Will this reduce yeild?
