With drought and water shortages on the rise, Bainbridge’s methods of low-tech, low-cost irrigation systems will keep you prepared for any scenario and ensure your gardens can continue to thrive.
This beginner-friendly guide offers simple, inexpensive, low-tech techniques for watering your garden much more efficiently — using up to 90 percent less water for the same results.

- Set up different kinds of irrigation systems
- Landscape to catch water
- Harvest rainwater
