If you're considering building a home greenhouse, the award-winning

options. This comprehensive, easy-to-read guide covers greenhouse basics,
selecting a greenhouse, greenhouse planning, framing materials and glazing,
greenhouse layouts and equipment, the greenhouse environment, window
greenhouses and growth chambers, and garden structures. It will enable both
aspiring and practicing greenhouse operators to make informed decisions
about foundations, glazing and framing materials, space utilization,
interior design, heating and cooling systems, supplemental lighting, and
watering and fertilizing systems. Other design and construction issues cover
cold frames, hotbeds, shade houses, rowcovers, and high tunnels. Nearly 150
illustrations and ten do-it-yourself plans enhance this practical book.
