Good fire resistance advice

There is a good section on planting a fire-resistant landscape.The book is geared to the Rocky Mountain area, but there is some information pertinent to Southern California (another planet, as far as most gardening books are concerned). I also found the 'plant substitution' guide to be very useful.
Waterwise landscaping
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I received this book from a colleague of mine, and I had no clue what `xeriscape' even was. Living here, southwest, I knew I had to do something, and this book was the opened the door! I have just begun, but I am already confident and happy. As the review said, it the plant notes were wonderful, and the color photos were beyond that. The tips help. Looking at this, you would think it'd be terribly hard to do waterwise landscaping, I sure did, but give it a try! It's a terrific book, or at least it served me great.
