Hey there, fellow gardeners and farmers!
Ever wonder what you can grow in a scorching Texas summer without the constant need for watering? Join me on a unique experiment at East By West Farms as I reveal the surprising secrets of a no-water garden.
In this video, I’ll show you how I used sunflowers to create a micro-climate for a successful no-water vegetable patch. You’ll see which cool-weather vegetables not only survived but thrived, including chives, basil, collard greens, peanuts, and more! I’ll also share a simple, yet powerful technique using “weeds” to protect your soil and retain moisture.
Whether you’re a seasoned farmer or a hobby gardener, you’ll discover valuable, sustainable tips to make your garden more resilient, even in the toughest conditions.
Watch the full video to see the results of this incredible experiment and learn how you can apply these methods to your own garden!
