Today only a few dozen large-scale producers dominate the greenhouse production 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.

The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower’s Handbookcomprehensive 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 Handbookindispensable resource for protected growing.
