Greenhouses by Sue Stickland
Growing under glass can be a rewarding hobby, and it offers the opportunity to grow a wide range of crops and flowers in every month of the year. It also provides a more controlled environment in which to control pests and diseases, give protection to small plants, and perhaps more importantly, it makes a sheltered retreat for the gardener to work in on cold, wet days. In this practical book, Sue Stickland gives advice and information on all aspects of growing plants in a cold greenhouse, with an emphasis on the use of natural pest and disease control, and organic manures and composts. She also gives clear instructions for careful planning and selection of plants; guidance on ventilation, propagation, feeding and soil care; and how to deal with common greenhouse pests and diseases. The book helps the reader to save energy and help the environment by learning to grow vegetables, fruit and flowers the natural way in an unheated greenhouse.| SKU | Unavailable |
