This book starts out with what a greenhouse can do for you and your food source.
Each chapter starts with a question and then the content discusses the details. Like the differnty types of a greenhouse you can have: aqua, hydro, etc and how to achieve them. I like a regular dirt type one myself. There are guidelines listed as outline bullet list. Love the idea of cold frame and remember my dad using them throughout the winter months. Like chart showing the different examples with pro and con.
Like listing of the equipment you will need for a greenhouse for year round use. It's a lot and some are expensive but worth it in the long run.
Love the true life stories about others obstacles and howthey overcame them.
If you can't do a full greenhouse consider modular ones that fit into smaller spaces.
Love vertical gardening, especially for squash and cukes that tend to spread out and take over the whole garden. plastic fencing really helped us, then stakes and tomato cages. Solutions nad plant schedules for the northeast is discussed as other areas as well. Very helpful information listed.
Love list of best vegetables for the greenhouse and how to tend to them. Like how to grow the items vertically on their own shelves along the whole wall. Like the section on plot for a year and which things go into each one, flowers to help the bugs stay away, like companion gardening. and how to rotate them for 5 years time.
Love section on composting, so helpful. Success tips are included in most chapters.
Troubleshooting problems is also a must read. Seasonal growing calendar and schedules are most helpful at the end of the book. Ends with gardening secrets for greenhouses. References are included
