Our Greenhouse Almost Done

This is the greenhouse we bought from www.farmtek.com in the Spring of 2005. It stayed in boxed in our garage all summer while we built the second coop.

We also had all the tall trees chopped down to allow the sunlight to come in. We finally got around to starting it in October and are now just about done Hurrah!

There are windows on the top that can be opened to let the hot air out.

For the base and to level it we use a material call "graded base" from www.powellstone.com It is basically "stone dust" with 3/4" aggregate. The stuff packs great. Good thing I have a tractor to move the stuff and spread it around!
