Great book! I loved this book! As a beginner at greenhouses, this book was helpful and understandable. It is easy and fun to read. The many pictures, drawings and charts make the book come alive. It is comprehensive for an advanced gardener as well. If you can only buy one book, this is the one! Enjoy!
Good for a beginner Great for a first greenhouse grower. The author is quick to give expensive answers to common problems but does not use much imagination in providing solutions to more thrifty growers. Overall its still a good book and although I won't buy it I'll probably check it out of the library again.
Great way to start learning about greenhouses This is really a reference book. I can't imagine anyone reading it cover to cover. For me, the first 90 pages on green house design and operation were exactly what I needed. In the middle, there are 170 pages of commentary, organized by plant, in which the author makes witty and pointed comments on the utility of growing the specific plant in a green house. For example, on Avocados, he writes: "Before you get excited about homegrown guacamole fresh from your greenhouse, I need to tell you that avocados are difficult to get to produce fruit in a greenhouse." On banana, he states: "Bananas are worth growing solely for the tropical look they bring to a sunspace, and you can also get a harvest from your banana." |
