Books on Building Your Own Greenhouse

These two books both look good. I’m not particularly handy with tools so both are way beyond me.
“How to Build Your Own Greenhouse” by Roger Marshall (Storey, $24.95) offers lots of conventional plans that should work anywhere. Good schematics and clear directions.
“The Earth-Sheltered Solar Greenhouse Book” by Mike Oehler (Mole Publishing, $24.95) looks like a fun read. Mike has lived on a 46-acre homestead in northern Idaho since 1971 and he’s got lots of notions about gardening and how to use the earth to your advantage when considering a greenhouse.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
