Product Description

Plastic materials have transformed gardening, with plastic gnomes, plastic hose, plastic cans, plastic tubs, plastic pots and now plastic protection in the form of low cost cloches, frames, mulches, fleece, nets, windbreaks and polytunnels. In 'Gardening Under Plastic', Bernard Salt gives information on the practical use of polytunnels and other hardware, methods of cultivation for flowers, fruit, vegetables and other crops, and potential problems from pests and diseases that may strike under these particular circumstances.

This review is from: Gardening Under Plastic: How to Use Fleece, Films, Cloches and Polytunnels (Cloche Gardening) (Paperback)

The book is a comprehensive guide to growing under plastic,including fleece, black plastic, cloches of all different materials, cold frames and finally showing you how to erect a Polytunnel. It's easy to follow instructions make it simple for a beginner like me to follow.It includes a comprehensive guide to the growing of flowers and vegetables, taking cuttings and overwintering tender perennials. It is a must for gardeners new to Polytunnel culture.

Shropshire Lass "Shropshire Lass" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gardening Under Plastic: How to Use Fleece, Films, Cloches and Polytunnels (Cloche Gardening) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my husband who has had his nose buried in it ever since! He is an experienced gardener but his recently acquired polytunnel has brought new challenges and this book has helped him out tremendously. Now I will get the chance to sit back and enjoy the abundant crops that I am sure this book will help him achieve!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gold for the polytunnel gardener, 23 April 2009

Andy M "bookworm" (Galway, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gardening Under Plastic: How to Use Fleece, Films, Cloches and Polytunnels (Cloche Gardening) (Paperback)

This book is everythign the polytunnel gardener needs to get going.

It starts with an in depth guide to plastis for the garden - clochs, polytunnels and a range of others.
Then the real treasure begins - a very well illustrated guide through all the stages from seed planting to bug prevention. And if that isn't enough there is a plant by plant guide through the vegtables you can grow, when to grow and how to grow.

If you own or will own a polytunnel this is essential on your bookshelf.
