Excellent view of greenhouse growing, tips and photos. Lots of information - I don't grow orchids but am interested in extended season greenhouse growing and be it veggies, citrus, herbs, even flowers and cactus it's in this complete book. The author has experience beyond reading about growing in greenhouses, which comes through in the advice. Beautiful detailed pictures, detailed information about growing, both challenges and advantages, in the greenhouse. Nicely done. In full disclosure I viewed mine on NetGalley, but this will take a place on the bookshelf to review and look up info when needed. Do it right the first time and save thousands on wasted material, wasted plants and frustration...buy this book and learn to do it right from the start.
Enjoyable read and very informative but I made the mistake of ordering it on my kindle and can't read any of the charts and graphs in the book. I wish that I wasn't so anxious and waited to order the book in the mail.
I've been greenhouse gardening for several years and used this book as a refresher. It's filled with good information and would be an excellent book for those that are looking to start a greenhouse. Mr. Marshall gives an excellent overview and covers all the bases. All in all, an excellent primer.
Fantastic wealth of information on Greenhouse selection, growing and management. I found this author clearly knew his stuff as he discusses common questions you might have and provides insight and know-how and many practical tips. Additionally, I found his discussion on growing individual, specific plant families and species to be well worth a second and third read - this will be a great reference for a long time
It is rare that I am moved to write a review, but this book is OUTSTANDING. As the recent owner of a greenhouse, I found in it a wealth of time-tested knowledge. It answered questions before I even asked them! Loved all the photos, charts, and humor as well. I also like that the author is very in tune with choosing Earth-friendly methods (even though he explains all of the choices out there). I borrowed this from my local library but am buying a copy because I can already tell it is a book I cannot live without. Thank you for a truly wonderful contribution!
Loved it , i could not believe how easy to understand how it all works.The author has a great sense of humor.Fantastic tips, great pictures.I would recomend this book to anyone interested in gardening and green houses.I read this book with a good cup of coffee and marked especially interesting pages.This book will be my gardening bible.
I was hoping for a new greenhouse book that might or expand or at least update my knowledge. This book fails miserably as a source of anything but a few nice photos. The information about individual plants is miniscule, inconsistent and inadequate. Greenhouse planning, maintenance and management are covered in a rudimentary way at best. Pay a few dollars more for- Greenhouse Gardener's Companion- and get hundreds of times as much information.
Great information on greenhouses. Our local master gardener association is purchasing a greenhouse and I am on the committee to run it, so this book was invaluable.
