Description
The Winter Harvest Handbook offers a comprehensive guide to growing produce year-round using innovative, highly successful methods. Eliot Coleman shares his hard-won experience and expertise to help gardeners and farmers raise crops throughout the coldest of winters.
With detailed information on greenhouse construction and maintenance, planting schedules, crop management, harvesting practices, and marketing methods, this handbook provides a practical model for supplying fresh, locally grown produce during the winter season.
Coleman's research and experimentation with over 30 different crops will be valuable to small farmers, homesteaders, and experienced home gardeners who seek to expand their production seasons, even in climates where conventional wisdom says it "just can't be done".
