Produktbeschreibung

An easy-to-follow, practical guide to growing crops year-round in your polytunnel.

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 late celery in November; winter radish, baby carrots and celeriac in early February; salad leaves right through the winter. Even in the 'hungry gap' you'll have a choice of new potatoes, pak choi, peas, tender cabbages, beetroot and more.

How to Grow Food in Your Polytunnel has all the information you need to make the most of this precious covered space, including a detailed crop-by-crop guide to the growing year, dedicated chapters on growing for each season, including the 'hungry gap', and a handy sowing and harvesting calendar to help with planning.

Autorenporträt

Mark Gatter began growing vegetables in the early 1980s. He's a firm advocate of an organic, raised-bed approach and says that even in Northumberland, where he now lives, it's still possible - with a bit of care and effort - to grow food all year round.
