Loved this book. It is the absolutely most complete book about greenhouse gardening I have ever read. That being said, I would have liked to see a couple of pictures to illustrate the process but that’s because I am a visual person and I like to illustrate my own books myself.
Firstly, the author, Eric Beuning , cover the topic of choosing the reader’s best option for a greenhouse in his environment as well as essentials like heating, water, and ventilation.
He includes the things people don’t commonly think about, like,
“… If it is a particular warm and sunny day you will probably want to deploy some form of screening….” Dawww… Right!!! Otherwise we’ll fry the young plants.
And also,
“… A properly tended greenhouse is essentially its own little ecosystem. On the one hand it’s handy, that compared to your garden, random bugs, fungal spores and soil borne diseases have a hard time getting in. Unfortunately once they do get in they tend to run wild in the greenhouse’s special conditions!”…”
Ahhh… never thought about that! How does it work?
“… One of the easiest ways for things to get into your greenhouse is on your shoes or tools…”
These few short quotations illustrate already how intelligently this book is written. The author does not stop with describing the process of building or buying & setting up a greenhouse, but includes information how to plants the seedlings outside as well as specific Heirloom vegetable recommendations, including peppers, tomatoes, garlic and cucumber, (all favorites of mine) .
Love this book! I already recommended it to a friend , who shares my passion about gardening.
