Growing Under Cover by Niki Jabbour - 2020

Storey Publishing, 2020. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Jabbour, an author, gardener, and radio show host in Canada, describes methods for using covers and structures to grow vegetables and herbs in more productive, weather-resistant, and longer growing seasons. She explains choosing a structure; using small structures like mini hoop tunnels and cold frames; using larger structures like polytunnels, bioshelters, and geodesic domes; using beds and containers inside structures, best use of the space, and using different types of mulches; setting up systems to control temperature and humidity, ventilation, and irrigation; and preventing diseases, pests, and poor pollination. The second section details specific vegetables to grow under cover, with strategies for planting, growing, and harvesting them, as well as using specific types of covers.
