The Greenhouse and Nursery Handbook

Rating:
Summary: A good one for Greenhouse owners!
Review: Good greenhouse info, but not worth 100. Hardley nothing on selling and hydroponics. Where are the new products? Mostly growing and what not to do, but you can fine some money saving ideas here. I like the book "Secrets to a Successful Greenhouse and Business" for starting a business, it has all the information you need.

Summary: Worth every dollar I spent on it!
Review: I have the 21st century edition of Greenhouse & Nursey Handbook and wouldn't be without it. Although I am retired and am working out of a home greenhouse, I can remember years of working in commercial greenhouses where I would have killed for the info contained in this book. Because of my background in commercial greenhouses, I thought I knew it all.......little did I know. The book is 'user friendly' which is a plus for me and I have used it when giving classes for the Idaho Master Gardening program. I ALWAYS take it to class with me, and recommend it to the students. Not everyone will be able to justify the cost of the book, but if at all possible, suck up to a friend that owns a copy.
