Your greenhouse will create runoff of about 2000 gallons from a one inch
downpore, if your soils are well drained that amount of water should not be a
problem, folks on hardpan clay soils build a depression at the low end of the
greenhouse lot planted to grass to collect runoff...Bob.

I guess one could always take one of those wide tire hunters' Yamaha
motorcycles and replace the tires in the front and back with rotary hoe
blades. Then all you have to do is run up and down between the rows and
there is nothing to clear because you ride between the plants. So you now
have a rotary hoe non tractor cultivator and recreational vehicle.
