Are you using your polytunnel to its full potential? If so you’ll be harvesting fresh crops all year round – sweet potatoes and late celery in November; winter radish, baby carrots and celeriac in early February; salads leaves right through the winter. Even in the `hungry gap’ you’ll have a choice of new potatoes, pak choi, peas, tender cabbages, beetroot and more.

How to Grow Food in Your Polytunnel has all the information you need to make the most of this precious covered space, including:

• a detailed crop-by-crop guide to the growing year

• dedicated chapters on growing for each season, including the `hungry gap’

• a sowing and harvesting calendar to help with planning.

MEDIA REVIEWS

“Andy and Mark are fast becoming Britain’s polytunnel gurus. This is an excellent sequel to The Polytunnel Handbook, and will show you how to make productive use of every square inch of space.” - Simon McEwan, Editor, Country Smallholding

"What I like about this book is the two writers not only clearly know their stuff, they are also very capable of sharing their knowledge. In the plants for the polytunnel section there are nice diagrams heading each vegetable making it a quick reference much in the same way as Hessyan's expert series." - Self Sufficient-ish Website - 4 November 2010
