Stop treating every bed as equally thirsty. This self-paced digital ebook gives drought-prone gardeners a practical, one-season method for observing how water behaves across an established food garden, defining three water-based growing zones, and comparing crop sensitivity with the water each area can reliably provide. You’ll use a field observation log and the Water-Fit Field Matrix to keep your decisions tied to recorded site conditions—not just familiar bed labels or guesswork. The four chapters guide you from reading the landscape to making a crop-to-zone prescription for each area, so you can see which crops deserve the most dependable water and where adjustments may better fit your garden. Rooted in the principle that natural ecosystems are teachers, the method helps you make a clear diagnosis and plan next steps without assuming every growing area needs the same support.
