Commercial greenhouses are divided into hot houses and cold houses
hot house is heated all through winter with a month of deepest winter for cleaning, disinfection, and propagating new plants.
while cold houses are used just to extend the season,no additional heating
I really advocate the cordwood option, it is is nice, pretty ecofriendly, you do need to use some kind of protection. but is is gona be a lot less weight then cement. Some photos

Well :)
You can count me in, I am not ashamed of being a geek whatsoever.
A typical geek moment I had the other day. 3 of us sitting in a car, temps hitting 90s., melting there in a trafic jam, I just threw out: "Boy I wish we had an asghard transporter" two of us burst out laughing, with...
I am sorry if you already gave the answer, But from what I remember you applied for a job at a TS.. something, feed store anyway. Did I miss it and they hire you already? Or were they actually dum enough NOT to hire you?
I think it really depends on who you are aiming for. If you are aiming for people like you, and people around here on this forum then it is FINE, however if you are trying to sell it to some organic-trendy kinda people then there are to many big words to cope with at one time I think. But that...
I was setting up our small quite shaded garden behind our house. So was just lurking around, and I still have a few things in the orchard topic to finish up translating for you folks. But let me tell you this, there are basically two ways to go about the orchard. One would be what I am pretty...
Boy.. some busy time lately. I still have to finish the orchard lecture in another topic and I have some more polish books on agriculture from the 80's which is a very permacuture similar thing.
I have to tell you, that what just blew me away when I watched food inc, was the sight of cattle...
Concerning, the fact that I have not been in that community for a very long time, but you do seem like a good, kind and honest person with principles which is a endangered breed of people these days. I assume that you raised your son expecting of him nothing less, then you expected of yourself...

I am sorry for the delay, but I was out of town for a day, and in the mean time, I have put that book somewhere, specifically so that I would not have to look for it, when I get back.. and OFCOURSE now I can't find it. :barnie
And I am sure, some of you are waiting for the pruning part.
Oh oh... I know... I know... aren't they to make some dumn ass program.... where some dear teen kidos show of their boobies for a dolar or a t-shirt? :lau
OK.. That was mean. But when I see one of those from time to time on the net somewhere I just go :he
It is a little translation from a book I found
Introduction
First thing to consider is the amount of fruit you will need, throughout the year. It is advisable to eat about 100 KG (220lb) of fruit per person per year. So if you are feeding a 4 people you will need approximately 400 KG (1000lbs)...
pioneergirl for the sake of the argument, lets say, that there are 25 seeds in that packet, say 60% harvest rate that makes 15 broccolis with 3$ for a packet, that makes for 0.2$ per head, you wouldn't get even a normal, industrial farm broccoli for that price, not to mention a organic one.
On the other hand, here in Poland we often use jars, that were bought by others, with something in it from the store. Then either buy a lid, or just cook the previous one and reuse it. So the jars are absolutely not a expensive thing, besides If you already have a store space set up, you can as...
