Review: Full of practical ideas my favourite go to gardening book. Month to month guides to dip in as you wish. First class book for gardening in a poly tunnel.

Review: Information on planting times for outdoor gardens is easy to find, but for polytunnels, not so. This is why this book is extremely useful: it has a calendar that details work to do around the tunnel each month. Also useful is the (very short) chapter on finding a spot for your tunnel and orginizing the space inside. It seems to me that the author got all information from her own experience, which is great, but limits it to the plants she has tried. I want to grow avocadoes in my tunnel, but she has no info on those. On the other hand, she has lots of information on grapes, since she has a vine growing in her tunnel. Also missing was hard information on maintaining the tunnel. She says you should do it, but does not show how. How do I repair a wooden door? How do I calculate the amount of plastic needed to replace the plastic in my tunnel? What kind of plastic should I buy? No info on any of that. Overall, a very useful book that could be made great if complemented with more technical information and a wider choice of plants.
