RE: How we assembled our.. geodesic dome greenhouse.. in our backyard

in #life7 years ago

Our state has a greenhouse grant program. You become part of a 5 year study and they put so much money per square foot towards your greenhouse. There are a few requirements, but after the 5 years it's yours free and clear. We can apply again if we'd like, but we have to plant 2 years in the area we want to have it before it can qualify. We are working on clearing another area for 2 greenhouses in the future. The areas are near my mom's greenhouse business so we'll have to post signs. After the 5 years tho we can buy some tables and add on to mom's business... tho by the time we get that far I may be the one running the business. She has a starter plant nursery. We keep saying we're running out of room so coming on to my property is the only way to make more shop-able greenhouses.

wow...that's so cool!!!!! free and clear!?!!!! i love that!!!!!!! keep applying and adding more!!!!! maybe a dome greenhouse down the road...as you said before. gosh...i can't wait to see what you guys do! we will be tuning IN!

One of the requirements is that it is a high tunnel. We got a gothic style this time and went with almost the max square footage we could go. Next time I'm thinking a smaller one this time with the rounded top. We got to demo our old house first tho... after we clean it out.
