Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

all good news. Thanks for the incredible responses. Water heater co. says I can go as low as 70 degrees on the unit with out modification, Cedar as a weed resistance. wow! I will be treating my cedar saw dust like gold. I may just have to slice up some more on the mill. As for modifying the raised beds. I am to far along. and to far behind. I am a one man marching band right now. Over two acres to catch up on. Jim you and the gang are welcome to stop by. I am a total mess and trying to get a handle on it. This will be my third year market gardening. I hope to make memorial day. I hope to just break even. that would be nice. .

Bruce & Group:

One of the major things a greenhouse grower must be very careful of is trying to grow TOO MANY plants.

The NUMBER ONE law of plant growth is LIGHT - meaning FULL SUNLIGHT, and all day long is none too long. In the garden we recommend 3 1/2'-wide aisles. In the greenhouse 4' is none too wide.

Every greenhouse cuts out some of the essential sunlight, and because of the limited space and associated costs growers often crowd as many plants into the space as they dare.

I have personally witnessed almost TOTAL CROP FAILURE when the grower just grew too many plants, and hardly any of them received sufficient light to set fruit and mature a crop.

A good man in Armenia invested $4,000 that spring - which was a HUGE amount of money for him - and he failed to get anywhere near his investment back.

I tried several times to tell him what was needed, but he was an Armenian Male - and an "agronomist" to boot, and could not be taught. Life teaches hard lessons when we insist on learning every lesson from our own experience.
