I highly recommend it to anyone growing in greenhouses, or who aspires to.”— Ben Hartman, author of The Lean Farm Whether growing in a heated greenhouse or unheated hoophouse, this book offers a decision-making framework for how to best manage crops Today only a few dozen large-scale producers dominate the greenhouse produce market. Why? Because they know and employ best practices for the most profitable crops. The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower’s Handbook levels the playing field by revealing these practices so that all growers—large and small—can maximize the potential of their protected growing space. Whether growing in a heated greenhouse or unheated hoophouse, this book offers a decision-making framework for how to best manage crops that goes beyond a list of simple do’s and don’ts. Author Andrew Mefferd spent years consulting for growers using protected agriculture in a wide variety of climates, soils, and conditions. The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower’s Handbook brings his experience and expertise to bear in an in-depth guide that will help readers make their investment in greenhouse space worthwhile. Every year, more growers are turning to protected culture to deal with unpredictable weather and to meet out-of-season demand for local food, but many end up spinning their wheels, wasting time and money on unprofitable crops grown in ways that don’t make the most of their precious greenhouse space. In The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower’s Handbook comprehensive chapters include: Protected Growing Structures and their features Heating, Cooling, Lighting, and Irrigation Plant Basics Propagation, Pruning, and Trellising Grafting And Much More! Mefferd’s book is full of techniques and strategies that can help farms stay profitable, satisfy customers, and become an integral part of re-localizing our food system. From seed to sale, The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower’s Handbook is the indispensable resource for protected growing. Review: Easy to understand information on high tunnels - I’m into my second year of full time farming but this will be my first year in a hoop house/high tunnel. I’m in MN and I appreciate that the author expresses the one size does not fit all. The climate in the northern hemisphere is fear different than even central USA . This is an easy to understand handbook, that is worth the price/ whatever you pay. Review: Extremely informative - I'm a newbie to all levels of covered crop growing. I'm also just gardening for my family, focusing mainly on trying to prolong our grow seasons for those particularly finicky crops that can not take our 95F+ degree weathers here in North Florida. I've been having pretty good success growing tomatoes in a high tunnel with shade cloth, while most people here stop growing Tomatoes in early June since the extreme heat can cause stunting and sterile pollen issues, we've been able to eat tomatoes pretty much daily and I see no stopping in new blooms. This book really does lay out everything in an easy to understand, and easy to digest format with no gimmicks or filler nonsense. Just a few pages in I've learned more than in the several months of online research - things you wouldn't even think about googling about are at my finger tips now. I'm extremely satisfied and happy I bought this book and I really can't see myself needing any other book. ## Features - Ships from Vermont ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #795,971 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #106 in Greenhouses (Books) #458 in Sustainable Agriculture (Books) #628 in Vegetable Gardening | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 227 Reviews | ## Images ![The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower's Handbook: Organic Vegetable Production Using Protected Culture - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XGvNAGrhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to understand information on high tunnels *by J***L on January 27, 2025* I’m into my second year of full time farming but this will be my first year in a hoop house/high tunnel.
