The Greenhouse Expert (Expert Books)

Summary: a great little greenhouse book
Review: I have bought books before on how to do things and they turned out to be not that much help but this one is different. Being new to greenhouse gardening and in the process of building one in my back yard,I decided to take the chance, well it was some of the best money that I have ever spent on a book. I was looking for something that would tell me how to grow things in the greenhouse, not how to build one. This book hit the spot. It tells you how to grow all types of flowers and vegetables with names and wonderful color pictures. All I will need to do is go to the seed catalog and order what I think I will like. Dr. Hessayon talks also about watering,ventilating,sowing seed, propagating,plant troubles and how to correct them,and then of all things a month by month of what to do doing that time of the year. Again for the money I got a winner,a book that I will use over and over again until it is wore out and at the price I gave for it, I won't mind buying another copy. Michael Beck [e-mail]

Summary: lacks depth
Review: This book lacks the depth I was looking for. They often use Great Briton gardening phrases and speak to an audience that never has to deal with real issues like tough winters, using solar heat, practical insect control using good bugs and organics.

Review: What a reference book! So many pictures, descriptions, and information about plants. I like to see what the plant looks like before I go out and buy them. This book covers all bases. I bought a how-to-build a greenhouse book and I wanted a how-to-set-up-the-greenhouse book--THIS IS IT!

What a truly fantastic book. STOP LOOKING NOW and buy this one. It's the best!
