There are several new plans in this edition to broaden the range of options, including a geodesic-dome greenhouse, a custom greenhouse with a fieldstone foundation, more kit greenhouses and even a super-efficient greenhouse built entirely from upcycled building materials- the greenest greenhouse you'll find!

BLACK+DECKER The Complete Guide to DIY Greenhouses provides an up-to-date look at new materials and products, as well as recommendations for siting and orienting, to assist you in making sound design decisions. Complete sections on heaters, ventilation, and watering systems demonstrate how to set up and operate your greenhouse to get the most out of it. Building a greenhouse, particularly if it is a pretty intricate "stick-built" form, is a surprisingly simple DIY project that will thrill any gardener in your family.
