Regarding the contributor who mentioned her customers objections to plastic mulch, poly tunnels, etc- I believe Eliot Coleman provides an energy budget in the back of "Four Season Harvest" that readily demonstrates that the entire plastic process, from manufacturing to disposal, consumes far, far less energy than trucking in a similar amount of produce grown in warmer climates. Food for thought.
