Darrell-
Great to have you on the forum. The book has been on my to-buy list since the folks at Milkwood in NZ referenced it a year or so ago.
I'm a Seattle resident with a great spot for a relatively small
greenhouse (probably 8X12 or so) in my
yard. It gets good
solar exposure, and I plan to build a
rocket mass heater to
boost the ground and air temp.
But Seattle is a cloudy
city, and all the estimates I've read for climate change, while positive for temps and rainfall in our maritime climate, seem to suggest that things will just get more cloudy as time goes on. So, my question is, what, if any, are the options for increasing the amount of light available to my plants? I'm interested in growing some semi-hardy sub tropicals, like feijoa, kaffir lime, and maybe a calamondin, and galangal along with starts and cuttings for the garden. I'm up for reflective walls, or even grow
lights. Or, does that even make sense? Maybe I
should stick with low hoops on raised beds to grow more kale?
Any suggestions from you, or other folks would be welcome.
Cheers,
-Dominic
