The Polytunnel Book: Fruit and Vegetables All Year Round

by Joyce Russell, Ben Russell (Photographer)

The e-book edition of the immensely popular guide, polytunnel gardening just got even more pratical.

The Polytunnel Book is the most comprehensive, practical guide to polytunnel gardening available. Whether you are a complete beginner, or a more experienced grower, this book has got what you need: from preparing the site, to simple charts that show at a glance how to get the best from each crop; from identifying and coping with pests, to making a hotbed, composts and organic feeds. But at the heart of this book is Joyce Russell's experienced hand guiding the reader through each month of the year. It tells what to do and when to do it, in order to grow the best fruit and vegetables all-year-round. If you want to try new potatoes, rocket and Florence fennel for Christmas; or mangetout peas, baby carrots and strawberries in April; as well as year-round salad, plenty of peppers, melons, gluts of tomatoes and much, much more, then this book shows you how. 300 colour photographs illustrate the wealth of practical tips and techniques as well as celebrating what can be achieved. Forming part of Frances Lincoln's extensive and exciting gardening range, e-book editions of Square Metre Gardening, Window-Box Allotment and Grow Your Own Vegetables are also available for purchase.

A fantastic book when you are a beginner. It gives information on different types of polytunnel, how to erect them, right through to growing. We found this a great asset while preparing our polytunnel.

Excellent book for new polytunnel owner. Also great to refer to regularly through the year.

good as a quick reference (especially if i had polytunnel)
can't help but feel I'd look for more detail on any particular plants I was growing
