Best practices for the eight most profitable crops: tomatoes,
eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, leafy greens, lettuce, herbs, and
microgreens "Mefferd's book fills a gaping void in the literature
for market growers. 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.
