Growing Under Cover

While it may sound like a book for secret agent gardeners, this is actually a great guide for expanding your gardening months in areas with short growing seasons or drastic temperature changes. It explains how to use protective covers and structures to plant earlier, harvest later, keep pests at bay and protect crops from cold, heat and sudden changes in the weather. Jabbour gives detailed information on a wide range of covers, from shelters for individual plants to large-scale tunnels capable of protecting an entire garden, as well as organic solutions such as mulch and shade plants.
