(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference for Old Hands & New Gardeners Alike, 31 Aug 2005
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
By Andy M "bookworm" (Galway, Ireland) - See all my reviews
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.
