Note all that "white" stuff!
Some are simpler and less expensive.
Other hot house types are more permanent and would cost more.
You could plant and harvest crops using more conventional methods.
Can also go with a vertical system, that really increases your yields!
I know from reading your many post, your not afraid to think and go outside of the conventional "box" methods.
Would be a nice way to go year round growing with easy weed and nutrient control, as most of you already know my personality is much to scattered to dedicate myself to one project full time so I think a seasonal growing schedule would be more suitable to my needs besides I get to play with toys that burn gasoline and make noise. That also need tinkering to keep them running.
As a youth spent nine months in reform school, my job placement was working in the greenhouse, so I'm not entirely new to the concept of growing in a year round environment.
When we bought this property the previous owner ereected a small greenhiuse that we'll use to start some of our plants. Manitoba has a short growing season with long hot days so most everything grows like a bad weed.
After I get some of the junk I have thus acquired home my Simplicity powermax 9020 tractor and my walk behind tiller will post pictures of before and after reconditioning.
When Pat and I split I sold my John Deere mower yesterday we replaced it with another product of the same manufacture this one has a 54 inch mower deck with a 26 horse power Briggs, the grass was left uncut last summer and this mower eats it for breakfast.
The ground burrowing critters have over run the property some mounds much to large to scalp, I've borrowed a chain harrow to drag behind the mower to level them out.
Cooper my Jack Russell has been in the freezer since he died in January, he was 13.5 years old. We buried him yesterday afternoon.
Met a youngish Native girl in her 20's at the Elphinstone store that offered me her year old miniature blue healer as a free adoption, took the pup back to the house to show Pat she loved the dog but told me she has her heart set on getting another Jack.
Both of us prefer a male dog with all its hardware intact, seems to give em more personality over the neutered version.
