Greenhouse Gardening Made Easy

Jack Kramer

Once a luxury only the wealthy could afford, conservatories today come in sizes and styles to fit almost any site, any budget – Adding an exciting extra dimension to home gardening.  Now in an in-depth guide, abundantly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, noted gardening authority Jack Kramer shows how to avoid common, often costly pitfalls and full enjoy greenhouse growing.

Candidly asserting that the proverbial “ounce of prevention” is critical in gardens under glass, Mr Kramer covers the basics in welcome detail:  the pros and cons of different structural designs…facts on building (whether you’re doing it yourself or hiring a professional) … data on essential furnishings (flats, work tables, etc) ventilation, heating and watering devices – everything you need to know.

He’s equally thorough when it comes to actually using the greenhouse,  planning how to grow annuals and perennials for cut flowers, top-quality fruits and vegetables, bulbs in winter, and much more!  Want to propagate plants to sell…or specialise in orchid culture….or create a retreat filled with a greater variety of exotic house plants than could ever be raised in your home?  Jack Kramer’s practical hints and imaginative ideas offer opportunities for year-round  pleasure!

In short, this lively volume is a superb introduction to one of the best of all possible gardening worlds.
