Review
"The huge increase in growing your own has led to a parallel surge in interest in polytunnels, the best tool a serious vegetable grower can acquire. But until now there has been next to no information available on how to make the best use of a polytunnel. The Joyce and Ben Russell team, with their years of practical experience, have filled that gap, showing us in clear, precise detail how to erect and manage polytunnels, and above all, what to grow in them." (Joy Larkcom )

Format:Paperback
As a novice polytunnel gardener, I find this book extremely helpful and inspirational. It offers a month-by-month gardening program, and has an easy to follow format with stunning photographs. It is companionable and makes one feel encouraged in one's own polytunnel endeavour. It is set up in monthly chapters and has a handy index should one be wondering about something specific. I would heartily recommend using this as the primary resourse for any and all polytunnel gardeners.

Format:Paperback
I put my polytunnel up last spring (1 year ago) and wish I had bought this book back then. It is very interesting to read, with clear pictures and instructions. The monthly step-by-step guide of what to sow is invaluable and there are plenty of money saving ideas too. I am hoping to produce lots more veggies through the months that I thought nothing would grow. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of erecting a polytunnel as it gives advice on purchase and siting of it right through to the finished product. Buy this book before you buy the polytunnel, don't wait like me and lose out on making it pay for itself.
