I originally borrowed this book from the library and once I had read it, i just had to have it. It contains everything you could want to know about greenhouses including where to position it, structure design options, internal layout options,heating, watering,lighting,as well as growing plants, flowers and vegetables,the lot. It also covers cold frames and hot frames as well as garden sheds. Whether you are planning to build your own or buy a greenhouse kit, this book will still provide lots of information you need to know to be successful with greenhouse growing.

A lot more information than what is offered on the internet for actually building including really great plans. I’m pretty new to the world of building things so for me it was exactly what I needed.

This is a very nice book because of pictures & information on how to build items. Worth buying esp. if you like seeing pictures of what you can do or build.

This is the kind of book for amateurs (this is my case) so if you are clueless about how to start a greenhouse and wich one is the best kind for you??? this is your book, but if you are looking for something more than that, is better you look another title.
The book from the beguine to the end is very clear, easy vocabulary and with good pictures and sketches.
Pro: everything I wrote above
Neg: lacking of guidance in the pic and more detail about how to do it.
from a scale from 0 to 10 this book is easily an 8
