I know Farmtek has a wide variety to choose from. Could you tell us more about the one you had. It might help the rest of us if you also say what you didn't like about the old one. Got any pictures?

Subject: [Market-farming] greenhouse recommendations?


Last night we just had a disaster (but, of course, it could have
been worst). A fire somehow started next to a shed (I was not home),
which caught my woodpile which heated up the propane tanks, (that's
about when I came home) which blew, torching my 32X96 greenhouse and
contents. ( found out that one gallon of propane equals ten sticks
of dynamite). Fortunately the wind was blowing away from our home
and fortunately we stuccoed our house several years back so the only
damage to our home, sitting 70 feet away, were windows cracked from
the heat.

So the question is, if I'm going to start over again (and the thought
makes me ill) but with all the toxic chemicals of the melted plastic
and burnt flats (did you know potting soil burns?) in and around the
old greenhouse I don't see rehabing it. I think I had better start
over at a new location. What make of greenhouse do people recommend?
What shape? The last one was about the right size for the seedlings
I need to start in the spring. Do people have a favorite. My last one
was heated by a woodboiler which was cheap on fuel with hot water
running in pipes along the growing tables. Are there better ideas?

Any good ideas would be helpful.
