Re: Fruiting in NY, NJ...
Hi Vinnie: Is there any way you could build a "hoop house" over it? We saw a hoop house in a org farming magazine and were able to build one for about $100 with pvc pipes and some 2x6 lumber. It was incredible and we kept the bananas in it and grew produce inthe winter until the conservatory was done. As a matter of fact, we got a pole bender and now we can make our own 20 foot hoop houses with only the cost of the fence poles and the lumber and the giant sheets of plastice from the hardware store. We grow lots of food year around in one - each layer of plastic gives you a zone and a half extra. You can do two layers with a small inexpensive blower between and get yourself up to almost a nine ag zone. Our first one was very small - but it held ALOT of plants.
