A blog to document the progress of building a tiny semi passive solar greenhouse in Plymouth Massachusetts and the subsequent vegetables grown within. The goal is to grow all winter with minimal loss in yield.

Nice work so far, construction looks good! How many hours of sun will it be getting in a day? What do you plan on growing in it over the winter?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeremy! During the deep winter, it should receive about 5-6 hours of sun. I may add vertical reflectors screens on either side of the greenhouse, set at an angle to focus more of the short hours of sun energy onto the growing area. During the summer, probably too much sun; 9+ hours which I will have to deal with in the traditional ways. I've been asked to grow some string beans but I've read they don't like temperature fluctuations. Maybe a carrot, a lettuce and and an herb or two. IF I can find the room. Cya
