Greenhouse Gardening: How to Build a Greenhouse and Grow Vegetables, Herbs and Fruit All Year-Round (Urban Homesteading)

It’s a nice book for somebody just starting to research home green houses. I’m past that point, tho.

After years of dreaming, planning, and waiting .... I will finally have a Greenhouse. This book was selected not just from reviews but it offered very basic and clear information for a newbie like me! It has not disappointed and has whet my appetite and enthusiasm to expand and do more year round gardening. Thank you, Mr. Bray for sharing your research, trial, and successes for others to learn and enjoy! Looking forward to more of your work.This volume compares and details types of greenhouses, flooring, window materials, and more. It was my go-to book during the construction of my greenhouse/organery. I am looking forward to new endeavors in growing year-round as well as learning to utilize hydroponic gardening.

Discusses 5 main ways or types of greenhouses used historically and currently.Gives good definitive pro's and con's to most common greenhouses in use.Covers effectiveness and costs associated with various styles.Different styles are discussed adequately to help you make choices based on your needs and resources available.I would be comfortable building any of these types of greenhouses discussed in this book.I have worked around construction all my life so could build any of these greenhouses/systems.I would get the help of a designer or architect for the more complex systems if I hadn't the experience .Anyone "Handy" could build the first three or for types of growing systems.I enjoyed reading and dreaming about the different greenhouses discussed in this book.

Tell you about what a greenhouse is. Covered the basic principles of a running and owning a greenhouse. Can grow your own food.

As an environmental chemist and educator for several decades I tend to read many do called "how to" books which are so much garbage. This book is insightful and lays out pros and cons without the need to preach for not annihilate any one method. I enjoyed it immensely. If you are looking for a book to tell you how to put a greenhouse together this is not the book for you. If you want to have unbiased information regarding the pros or cons of one system to make an informed choice than this is the book for you!

If you are experienced at all in Greenhouses this book is NOT FOR YOU, don't waste your money. If you are looking for something to help you dip your toe into the waters, looking to figure out the very basics in short, straight to the point ways, this IS FOR YOU. I would also like to note, this book is only 100 pages and is in a decently sized font with plenty of pictures and a few helpful tables to help determine what type of greenhouse is right for you. It's a good place to start your research.

Anything you want to know about greenhouse gardening is packed in this trusty book

Knowledge to have

the information given is fantastic. I am setting up a 4 season greenhouse and this book provided the information I need.

Gave this to my mom for Xmas, she loved it!

Very informative

Not really a how to, more just tips for building a greenhouse. This is not an instruction manual.

This book is mistitled.. When called "How to build a greenhouse " I was expecting plans and a list of the items required to build say the common standard 6X8 , 8X10 etc greenhouses.. however all this book does is tell you about the different sorts of greenhouses , giving their respective pros and cons. plus info on ancillary items like lighting , irrigation etc. ( which in itself is all very good information ).. The title should be.. "What you need to know when choosing a greenhouse ".. So I was very disappointed as what I wanted to know was how to actually build a greenhouse..
