In this class you will learn:
- NEW THIS YEAR Many of you have expressed a desire for a cheaper permanent winter greenhouse -- so I designed and built one! I will show you my new solar thermal greenhouse, which I completed this fall and is now full of vegetables. This is a permanent winter greenhouse with a door and room to stand up, and room for a chair inside (I love to spend time in my winter greenhouses) which costs less than $500 to build! This is a GAME CHANGER! This structure can also help you lower your winter heating bill for your house! I will show you all the thermal design principles you must know to build one of your own!
- We will also tour my $6,000 geothermal greenhouse, where you will be able to pick fresh from the garden to taste my winter gardening varieties!
- We will also tour my backyard cold frames, and backyard winter garden vegetables growing with no, zero, protection!
- You will also learn “greenhouse ocean” principle, which is critical for growing success
- everything you need to know about how to size your greenhouse correctly -- not as easy as you think!
- most importantly, best greenhouse vegetable varieties -- without these, none of it works!
- how to design and use a thermal chimney to keep your greenhouse from freezing in winter
- how to maximize productivity so you really, truly can feed your family from a small space!
- venting options,
- polycarbonate,
- the candle mistake,
- winter tomatoes,
- nutrient recycling,
- self-sufficient watering,
- seed-starting in January,
- variety testing,
- what is most useful to grow,
