Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Check it out, 531 pages of greenhouse gardening information. I have tried my very best to take technical information and bring it down to earth. No technospeak. This book covers low toxicity pest controls, biological pest controls, interior design, and scheduling food and flower crops among many other subjects. I have also provided an extensive encyclopedia relating the special tricks to growing specific plants including herbs, ornamentals and flower crops.
This book is written in a personal anecdotal style that reads like a great novel (well, at least better than most how-to books!).
It is fun, humorous and in the end you'll have the tools you need to grow most anything in your sunspace or greenhouse.
Be sure to check out the great picture of me at the back of the book (mr. collard head!).
Thanks for considering my book!

Customer Reviews
This book will hold your hand every step of the way.
I built a greenhouse last summer. Without this book I would still be struggling to get things right. Whenever I was confused or frustrated, this book was there to help out. If you are considering a greenhouse, GET THIS BOOK. If you already own a greenhouse, GET THIS BOOK. Everything you could want to know is covered. It is amusing and written in plain old garden speak. You will recognise in the author, a fellow gardener with dirty fingernails, just like yours!!!
Same stuf in most gardening books!
My problem with this well written book is that it is OLD, the proccesses decribe about greenhouses and pictures has to be 20 years old The greenhouse industry has made so many big new changes lately that old ways are not the best. It is not a good source for serious growers and that the greenhouse info is good only if you plan to use it on a old greenhouse.Half the book has info on growing plants that you can find simular info in hundreds of good gardening books. This book has too many old addresses and phone numbers and I could not find any most of these. Try a new edition of what ever greenhouse book you buy to really be successful and have more fun with this great hobby!
Excellent
This is the first book you should buy if you're starting to garden in a greenhouse. It may be all you need. Does not cover building a greenhouse, but covers every thing else.
