Desert Horticulture
Desert Horticulture is as unique to horticulture as the desert to other environments. Growing plants in the desert is part science and part art. The science must be "tweeked" to grow plants successfully here.

These percentages will help you understand how to irrigate plants growing in them as well is fertilize them.
