Notă biografică

Andy McKee was raised in Belfast, and first grew vegetables with his father at the age of five. After an early career in pharmacy, he pursued his interest in gardening and vegetable growing, and has grown in situations ranging from a seventeenth storey window box to guerrilla gardening in the middle of a Christmas tree plantation. Andy contributed to the Transition Town initiative for Dorchester, and regularly writes for the blog section of the Ecologist Online.Mark Gatter grew up in suburban London, but always wanted to live somewhere rural. Mark currently lives in Carmarthenshire with his wife, and spends a full week in every month in his two-acre smallholding with his rescue sheep, chickens and dogs, a 10 x 20ft polytunnel and an area of raised beds. They grow as much organic food as they possibly can, and enjoy giving it away at least as much as eating it themselves.

Recenzii

Andy and Mark are fast becoming Britain's polytunnel gurus. This is an excellent sequel to The Polytunnel Handbook, and will show you how to make productive use of every square inch of space.
This beautifully presented book covers every possible aspect of polytunnel growing. It will give kitchen gardeners the expertise and confidence they need to get the very best from their tunnel.
What I like about this book is the two writers not only clearly know their stuff, they are also very capable of sharing their knowledge. In the plants for the polytunnel section there are nice diagrams heading each vegetable making it a quick reference much in the same way as Hessyan's expert series.
The authors' [...] enthusiasm will draw you in. The book will give you all you need to know about preparing the site, choosing the right polytunnel, setting it up and maintaining it.
From planning your first growing year, to rotating your crops, dealing with pests and keeping the soil at its finest this book will have you up and running in no time.
I like the simple plan for year one, the was it is divided into seasons month-by-month with preparation, sowing, growing, harvesting and problem solving tips including all possible pests for every fruit or veg covered.
