Yes, a passive solar greenhouse.  Performs better than the hoop house that we had.

Hi! I too grow for market and my greenhouse is a 24X48 Koolhouse from
Polytex in Minnesota. My husband put it up alone and we had some help
with the poly. It has worked well for me and has wind braces and we
set some of the purlins in cement. This year I'm going to put beds on
one side and grow early and late season veggies. Lu in snow covered

Please be specific - what do you like about the dome greenhouse as compared
to the conventional type? What size would you go to if you wanted it bigger
and would you have startyed with that if you knew what you know now? Bev.

Can you all tell me what else I can use to tie up bundles of carrots, beets,
green onions, etc, instead of rubber bands? I am allergic to rubber bands.

I bought ribbon last season, but need something cheaper. I thought about
Christmas curling ribbon, but am unsure if it fades.

Thank you.

Sue Wells

Twist ties would be quick and easy to use and, I believe, cheap.

Here in Dominica, people pull apart and use strands of twine or use
pieces of vines or strips of other natural materials. Looks nice and no
chance of a nonedible dye (like might be in ribbons) contaminating the food.

Best wishes,

Karen
