Customer Reviews

Not aimed at the amateur/home user
I am a "home-user" with a 8x10ft cedar greenhouse, and am looking for easy to follow advice together with exciting new ideas - this book does not provide either!

The book covers the subject of greenhouses in HUGE depth, but this seems to be aimed mainly at the commercial and professional user.

An example of the type of content is under the descriptions of compost, it actually goes in to the chemical content!

No criticism of the actual book, just be warned that if you are a home user, this is probably not the volume for you!
