I have thought about going underground, I have seen some amazing examples online too, I just can't in my neighborhood. Our lots are too small and utilities are everywhere. My plan is to move out more in to the country in a few years and I may try it then.

I have an idea about the weather up there so how did your greenhouse handle the winter? I mean the top sticking out of the ground.

Good Morning y'all.

My name is James but I go by Shames at times.

I have been studying hydroponics and aquaponics online. Just getting started on my first greenhouse. I live in Northern Arizona where we get all four seasons. My greenhouse plan is a lean-to with the roof facing South to capture the heat and sun light. I think I have gotten enough info on when to add shade screening and venting the heat. What I need some help on finding is more info on the sides. I have found for FREE vinyl windows (4'x4', 4'x5', and 5'x8' also a vinyl patio door) and they all work. I was going to use the patio door as my entry and open the windows for air.

My question is, should I have more air flow? I will have 4 points or air entry plus a 30" patio door. They are all screened and that I will remove when I need the bees to visit. Is there a formula (funny, I don't think there is) as to how much air I need is relevance to my square footage?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you and God bless,

Shames
