I really wanted to like this book
I really wanted to like this book, and it's quite comprehensive, but it will be more useful to growers who are based in the US and warmer climates than the UK.

Standardwerk für Chili Fans
Das Buch bietet einen hervorragenden Überblick über die Artenvielfalt und die Unterscheidung der Unterarten (z.B. Capsicum Annuum, Capsicum Chinense, etc.). Auch auf den Anbau wird umfangreich eingegangen und u.a. die Bereiche Sortenauswahl, Anzucht, Kultur in Topf und Freiland, sowie Probleme und Krankheiten ausführlichst erläutert. Ebenso sind diverse Rezepte zur Verwendung der hoffentlich reichen Ernte enthalten. Neben dem Buch von Harald Zoschke ("Das Chili Pepper Buch"), für mich ein absolutes Muss für Chili Fans und solche die es noch werden wollen. Die englische Sprache muss nicht abschrecken, das Buch ist absolut verständlich geschrieben und mit vielen Bildern illustriert. Klare Empfehlung!

bel libro
il libro è ricco di informazioni e immagini ben eseguite, le diverse tematiche sono trattate in modo non esaustivo ma per un approccio generale è molto ben fatto

Really good books that covers almost all the basics of chile ...
Really good books that covers almost all the basics of chile pepper growing. I have been growing peppers for a couple years before I got this book and still learned a ton. This books covers the different chile families, different methods of growing, different planting arrangements, common issues and how to fix them, and also includes some recipes for all the chiles you will be growing. I have already pulled this book off the shelf multiple times to diagnose issues and to make sure I am doing everything right to maximize my harvests. So far my pepper garden is absolutely exploding with peppers and I think some of that has to do with this book. I would highly recommend this books to anyone growing chiles whether just a couple plants or a whole green house full of them.
