Hello All,
I have read your posts for several years, but have not ever posted -
lurking in the shadows I guess.
I am wondering if anyone out there has any thoughts/experience with
production agriculture from a greenhouse/hothouse structure. I live in
South Dakota and have been thinking
Hi Dan and All ;
I live in
South Dakota and have been thinking that with energy
efficient glass and the
right setup that growing fresh vegetables likes tomatoes
year around might
be possible (I say this with a wind chill today near 0
fahrenheit).
I live in the tropics so I don't have

Hi Dan,
In the Netherlands greenhouse farming of vegetables and fruits is quite
well developed. In wintertime when temperature drops, heating is
necessary, even if still above zero. Due to agreements with the
government to reduce energy consumption the concept of the Energy

I'm very interested in all this. There's nothing at the Journey to
Forever website about greenhouses, and I've had some questions about
it, so I'm planning to make a new section on greenhouses, But I don't
have any experience of them.
I had a smallish polytunnel once, which worked quite well,

I can't find any record of a book called Passive solar heating

Elsevier with passive solar in the title, but they're focused on
homes, not greenhouses. Are you

Hi Chip
Glad it's useful.
And good for you - I'm sure you won't regret this decision. A lot of
people are moving in that direction, and I don't hear any complaints,
unless comments like hard work - but it's worth it! are complaints.
This might be of interest - or maybe not, I don't know how

For my part, I'm not up for chatting - too far away (in Japan), and
it's too late anyway (3 am). But please contribute onlist.

For the last several years I've been contemplating building a
greenhouse, not merely to extend the growing season, but also, like you,
to grow vegetables around the calendar year. I've collected a number of
pieces of mismatched glass panes, and last year helped my neighbor
replace a number of
I'm just getting into thinking about winter gardening and live in Connecticut,
vastly different from South Dakota. In the spring I want to erect a high

and does winter gardening, the trick is to plant hardy greens
