With the details of what plants need and the formula for making sure your heating and ventilation requirements are perfectly matched to your greenhouse. And he's one of the few growers to have had commercial sized solar greenhouses and passes these hard lessons about heating and growing on to readers. For example, your home greenhouse wants 2-3 full air exchanges every hour in the winter but your system has to be able to move 1 full exchange very minute in the summer. Doug gives you the size of roof vents and fans to accomplish this. And Green has that knack of explaining complex things in simple ways. For example, he points out that growing in a greenhouse is simply growing, "in a big container" and all the rules of container gardening apply rather than normal gardening rules. So if you know how to container garden, you know how to grow in a greenhouse.This ebook will help you make informed decisions, save money and have a better garden."--,Provided by publisher.
