latest greenhouse picture

High_Brix · 12-14-2007, 07:26 AM

I thought this picture looked neat. The outside temps were 5 below zero when this was taken, The plants keep me sane during the winter months.

Great, good looking plants, looks like they have grown quite a bit since your last picture.

Looks great Brix! Makes me jealous. Ha Ha.

Soooo beatiful!!!!

bigdog · 12-14-2007, 11:18 AM

Very nice! Your plants look very healthy. Is that a mist line I see, or is it a string of lights? Hard to tell. Do you have an overall shot of your greenhouse, and did you build it yourself? Thanks.

great plants , pic and greenhouse!

bencelest · 12-14-2007, 12:23 PM

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. What are those strings for and there seem to have some Christmas lights passing across the plants.

dablo93 · 12-14-2007, 01:07 PM

which type of musa is that?

Ethan · 12-14-2007, 01:38 PM

such a beauty of a GH almost makes me wish for a colder zone, almost.

Thanks!
The answer is yes to all! I have a misting system, drip irrigation and lights. The greenhouse is on the side of my shop/barn. Trust me, it's nothing fancy. It works well though! It's been a 2 year project and I'm going to add on another 1000 sq ft. this spring. I'll try to post some more pics when I have time.

What a great looking GH and the bananas look so healthy. You said it was minus 5; when do you begin using the mister?

Hi,
The strings are drip irrigation lines and the red things are weights to hold the lines in the root zone. I have to move my plants every 3 weeks cause they're growing so fast, and in this picture I didn't put the lines back in the plants yet.

I have the mist timer set to mist for 2 minutes 8 times a day or every hour of sunlight. It was -5 outside and 71 in the greenhouse.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Here's an overhead view of the room. It has 250 mixed variety of musa plants, 2 palm trees, 12 tomato plants, 24 brocoli plants, and 1 pink lady apple tree.

what kind of roofing did you use?

2 layers. I used the strong Polycarbonate panels on the outside, then I wrapped the inside (or underside) with the cheap plastic stuff to help insulate it. I'm glad I used the panels because I have about 3 inches of snow and ice hanging over the edge.

wamstick · 12-14-2007, 07:06 PM

Brix---Great stuff---Hope to build me a G/H here this coming Spring.

Did you order it through mail or local store?
How much are they?
Thanks in advance.

High_Brix · 12-15-2007, 08:02 AM

Bencelest,
I purchased all the materials @ Home Depot. The panels are made from
suntuf http://www.suntuf.com
It was almost $600, I had to use the stronger panels because of the snow load in my area. The home depot was very helpful in my design and choosing the right materials.

bencelest · 12-15-2007, 11:22 AM

Thanks a lot .
That's not high. It's affordable. compared to a ready made GH.
You help me a great lot.
Thanks!
