Build A Greenhouse!

If my crazy hippie dad can do it anyone can. Here is the proof.

A new type of double layer A-Frame greenhouse my pa has been experimenting with. Works like a hot damn for extending the growing season and keeps the carrot rust fly off as well. These little A-frame greenhouses were built from salvaged greenhouse plastic and home treated (borax and copper sulphate) mill scraps and so cost maybe $40 each. Not bad when you consider what each head of organic celery costs!

Still eating fresh celery January 5th 20112!

And Meyer lemons too! Not bad for 35F (2C) degrees outside!

Yes there is a bit of scale but that doesn’t stop the lemons from growing.

So don’t wait for food collapse, build a biodome greenhouse and at least supplement your grocery store purchases. Your mind, soul, body, family and world will thank you for it!

Happy 2012 too!
