The Small Greenhouse
Small greenhouses are currently a hot topic among private gardeners. But which greenhouse is the right one for your needs? This practical book gives you valuable tips, right from the outset - from designing and building a greenhouse yourself, to its interior fittings and use. The author describes both the function of a greenhouse and also particular 'tricks', such as how to influence flowering times, in simple, easily understood and practical terms. Additionally, a wide range of use options are presented: growing seedlings or fruit and vegetables for the garden, overwintering frost-sensitive plants, growing cut flowers and even collecting and raising exotic plants. A supplementary section gives information on special plant groups such as alpine plants, cacti and succulents, bonsai plants, palms, orchids and tropical plants.
