    Hello, Everyone

    I live in the North American desert (Tucson, Arizona). The soil is sandy and underlain by heavy deposits of calcium called ‘caliche’ – which is earthwormless. Temperatures can reach 45C in mid-summer and humidity get as low as 3% although ‘normal’ is between 9 & 3o.

    I would like to network with anyone who has no-dig gardening experience experience in
    a very arid climate

    Please feel free to give my email add to anyone who might be able to help.
    A back channel reply would be appreciated.

    Are you still here?
    I have some experiences in sub-mediterranean climate, which is a bit arid in certain time of the year.
    We can discuss more about sunken beds, water management, shade and wind protection.
    It is important that you create holistic ecology in the garden and outside of it.
