Greener Now,

This review is from: Greenhouse Gardening: Step by Step to Growing Success (Crowood Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
Given a Greenhouse as a present, I had no idea how to run it. After a lot of searching, I found this book and it answered all my questions. It told me my greenhouse was the perfect size for a beginner, different types of heaters and the advantages and disadvantages of each heater, for the greenhouse, the temperature that should be maintained, and even how to make containers for the plantings. I would reccomend the book very highly to any one interested in having a back yard greenhouse.

This review is from: Greenhouse Gardening: Step by Step to Growing Success (Crowood Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book. It has so much information, written in very acceptable terms for a rank beginner like me, as well as good information regarding all aspects of greenhouse gardening.
The layout is good and has so much information regarding, building and maintenance of the building, as well as calendars for propogation, seasonal chores, pests, and maintaining a healthy greenhouse. Vegetables, herbs and flowers. All you could need!

Not the best book that I have on the subject, or should I say, the most comprehensive. Save your money
