Summary: Drip Irrigation gets down to nuts and bolts
Comment: This is a very helpful book for the gardener who wants to actually install a drip irrigation herself. The author goes into specifics about how to test your soil so you know how water moves through it and you can calculate how much water you'll need to apply, and he talks (somewhat unsuccessfully for my complete understanding) about transpiration rates for various types of plant, so you can kind of figure out how much water your plants actually use, and he gives a primer in the various components of a drip system. Basically he is teaching plumbing, horticulture, and geology just enough to help a novice design and install a drip system without hiring a pro. The best part, in my opinion, is the fact that in the back of the book there is a form for ordering the components, and it includes the option to purchase a main assembly fully assembled so I don't really need to master all that plumbing skills I might have had to master. This book is certainly worth its price. Be advised, however, I have an older version of this book, so I don't know if the current edition has the wonderful order form.

Summary: Some useful information but somewhat outdated
Comment: This book had some useful information, but it seemed somewhat out of date and had very little about automatic systems.

Rating: 5
Summary: A wealth of straightforward, understandable information.
Comment: Concise and to the point, this clearly illustrated book is the definitive work or proper irrigation and an absolute must for any serious gardener.
