Growing Under Cover: Techniques for a More Productive, Weather-Resistant, Pest-Free Vegetable Garden

Lots of good ideas to build different structures to plant earlier, grow later and perhaps grow food all year.

I checked this book out from my library to start with. I purchased it as a hostess gift for a good friend who is interested in setting up some type of greenhouse area. This book covers all type of units and explains how they function. She thinks it will be an excellent reference for her project.

This is simply excellent advice and an easy to read and interesting concepts that are very affordable.

I've been gardening for a long time but just moved to a new yard, so I am starting over again with new conditions. I love seeing photos of other gardens and hand-made devices. This book is a delight in that respect. The author is knowledgeable and practiced. Lots of tips and techniques while avoiding fancy/expensive solutions. Good book.

Good advice, descriptions of invasive garden insects with realistic organic remedies to keep them at bay. The photographs are lovely and helpful in creating ideas for covers in protection of vegetable and flowers. No complaints from me, worth every penny I paid.

The author and the book are terrific! Thank you for sharing your experience in a place where winters are long.

As always, great information, useful techniques and gorgeous pictures!

Useful information

This is NOT just a gardening book. This is a gardeners bible to growing with the aid of covers. If you want to extend your growing season but don’t know where to start... start by buying this book. It’s all in here, everything you want/need to know about growing with covers for pest/sun/frost protection. She added a monthly ‘planner’ section with ideas for each month of the year and what you can do to help prepare for your growing season. Another great section focuses on specific plants and plant families with all kinds of tips and information on growing them ‘under cover’!If you’ve read Nikis other books then you already know what to expect... excellence. This book will be a reference for years to come not just a read once and ignore. There is so much great information and awesome photos. Beginner or seasoned expert this book is for you!

Not cheap for a paperback but a treasure throve of gardening information for the new weather. The climate is getting hotter and new pests and diseases are surfacing. So much help with different ways of coping with problems in an ecological way. I'm extremely pleased.

The book was good, it focused on growing , more under coverIf I were able to have a “ raised bed”, this book would have been wonderfulI did get a lot of good ideas, so I did not feel that I was wasting my funds

Love this book. Very useful info for extending your garden veggies through cold spells, even into winter. I highly recommend this book if you're wanting to keep veggies in a garden over winter.

I like what Nikki has put into this book. Loads of pictures and good reading material.She adds info on what to grow but it was weak on cultivars. Perhaps for new edition?Can't wait until her next book!
