In the Garden

A place to relate, share, care for, and support one another. A place to share about our daily activities and events around the home.

Last fall was our time planting garlic in the fall. Our first time planting garlic ever was last spring.
In the last couple of days the snow just melted off the patch where we planted about 500 garlic in the garden.
Today I see a bunch a green stocks about 1 inch tall poking up out of the ground!

Nice! :up:

Jim,
Why the straw bale wall?
I've not seen this before and am curious of the benefits?
Is the woodstove on the other side of the straw bales? How do you plan to transfer heat to the greenhouse side?
I have a bunch of old windows all over our property and want to build another greenhouse soon and am looking for some good ideas.

The north wall will receive little sun, so the straw bales serve as insulation. The woodstove will be out in back under the eaves, with a blower to bring the heat in through a plywood duct that will run under the back table. You can see the location where the stove will soon go where the roof sticks out in this picture Image or lots more pictures at http://seedofhopefarm.org/greenhouse.htm.

Jim, that looks good. You can get a lot of seedlings started in that rig. I found another interesting creative greenhouse cover. The 2 liter bottles would provide even more insulation if the caps were left on to trap the air.
Greenhouse made from Plastic Bottles.
