Description
An updated edition of the definitive, easy-to-follow guide to growing crops in a polytunnel year-round.
Are you using your polytunnel, also known as high tunnel or hoop house, to its full potential? If so, you'll be harvesting fresh crops all year round – sweet potatoes and celery in November; winter radish, baby carrots and celeriac in early February; salad leaves right through the winter. Even in the 'hungry gap' in early spring you'll have a choice of new potatoes, pak choi, peas, tender cabbages, beetroot and more.
Now in its second edition, How to Grow Food in Your Polytunnel shares up-to-date information on everything you need to make the most of the warm, sheltered microclimate this precious space provides. Illustrated with beautiful photos and diagrams throughout, the guide includes a detailed crop-by-crop guide to the growing year, dedicated chapters on growing for each season, and a handy sowing and harvesting calendar to help with planning.
Increase your crop quality, yield and harvesting period with this helpful guide.
