The glasshouse garden - John Watkins

An illustrated guide to gardening under glass for both the new and experienced gardener. It covers the practical considerations of glasshouse gardening - such as which size and shape of glasshouse to buy, where to site it and how to run it efficiently, and gives advice on which equipment to buy, from containers and propagators to heaters, ventilators and watering systems. Methods of propagation, the importance of compost and fertilizers and the control of pests and diseases are also detailed. The author shows how the glasshouse can be used to supplement the flower and vegetable garden and how to make all-year-round displays of colour with flowering plants for the conservatory.
