Re: Greenhouse
I've got a Juliana greenhouse. I lost my old glass one to Hurricane Rita last Sept. I already had natural gas heat and assembled the Juliana one over the same area as the old one. It's a 10 x 14 x 8 with 4 ceiling windows and double doors. The manufacturer is Swedish so the instructions were a bit of a challenge in the translation to Engish but the pictures are excellent. Best greenhouse for the money in my opinion.
I use it only for overwintering container plants; mostly heliconia, tender gingers, and orchids. Fortunately, my bananas survive in the ground here in Lake Charles, LA. But if you are container growing the bananas, the ceiling only is 8 feet high and the side wall is about 6 feet high so that might pose a problem for a mature specimen.
I definitely need fans to circulate the air here because of spider mite problems brought on by the dry warm conditions. I added a soaker hose on a timer last winter for humidity and it worked very well. Kept the mite problem to a minimum. It was a lot cheaper than a greenhouse humidifier.
