Wow Ohio must be really cold right now. Wonder if you could put up an adjacent solar panel to prevent loss of sunlight and get free heat too. I think if you put underground pipes for watering, a foot deep would definitely keep it from freezing.... or would it? Burying water pipes in Wyoming vary in depth according to which side of the mountain you were on at mile high to start with.Lol, ya heating them is a big cost. There somo areas in eastern Ohio where old tapped out oil wells exist that you can tap for free natural gas. I always wanted to buy one of those properties and build ba large green house. Fresh orange s every morning would be awesome. Unless you live in Florida or California you really don't know what tree ripened oranges taste like.
Yep, cost is the killer of dream s. My divorce pretty much eliminated my dream s of buying one of those properties in eastern Ohio with free natural gas but I am recovering at a better than expected pace. Who knows what the future holds. I have recently applied for my 100 ton captains license will likely get those oranges another route. Next couple years I will run boats in the south during the winter and get them that way. Galveston is actually an area I may end up in. I have friends running dive boats down there. Never been there but will check it out next couple of years. Do they have orange s in Galveston?Speaking of oranges, I've been obsessing over wishing I could put up a greenhouse that would sustain 30-year-old growth of valencia oranges (my favorite type) that would feature protection from occasional bitter cold from after Christmas to shortly after Easter when all threat of freezing ends. I'm 120 miles north of Galveston where I'm sure they'd grow, but there is limited space on the island with so many out from Houston to see the sea, the beautiful sea... and it's way over my paygrade. *sigh* We had a surprisingly pleasant sunny day following several days of chill and overcast skies.
I think they may, but most of the Texas oranges are in a place the labeled crates say as "Oranges from the Rio Grande Valley." The Rio Grande is almost 1900 miles long, so I'm not certain where the "Rio Grande Valley" is. All the starting water is from snow in the mountains. https://jornada.nmsu.edu/files/bibl...ll affect the amount and timing of streamflow.Yep, cost is the killer of dream s.

Well on my way to the happy life. Summer is figured out. Bought a lake front condo with dock on lake Erie can walk to work in the morning. Fishing trips all ready sold out through late July. Have many friends in the area. Best friend since 11 years old is looking for condo in same complex. He will join me as a full time captain next year when his son graduates college and takes over his current business. Just have to figure out my winters.I think they may, but most of the Texas oranges are in a place the labeled crates say as "Oranges from the Rio Grande Valley."

Good luck in your business endeavors of hauling oranges. May all of them be good on arrival and may none of them ever rot. I hope you find happiness when you get over your separation and legalisms, loss of companionship, when a marriage falls apart, evenflow. Sending up a little prayer for you to endure your losses and to create a happy life for yourself.
I just put a way to hopefully help you, OPJQ. It (the hooped hingehouse) traps heat beetween two layers; it's do it yourself with costs being only for materials, no markups for middlemen. If you already have a stockpile of wood from other projects, or nails or bolts of plastic, that's a good thing. If not, pull out the check book and hie thee hither to the nearest building supply center. It doesn't take much space, but it will hopefully pay for itself in one season of high produce prices in the upcoming winters.I really wish I could afford to put in geothermal tubes to heat a greenhouse. My neck of the woods has been down to -15° at night lately and I'd love to grow some little citrus trees.
Thanks for the great photos beautress

Tell your town to go fuck themselvesThis looks like what I plan on building. My town allows greenhouses to be 10x15 feet, which is a little larger than the one in your photo.

I love my little town. It is clean, quiet and safe, so I'm not going to rock any boats about building codes and shit.Tell your town to go fuck themselves
whose business is it as long as the greenhouse fits on your land?
did they make you pay for a permit and inspection too?
Why can't you?I really wish I could afford to put in geothermal tubes to heat a greenhouse. My neck of the woods has been down to -15° at night lately and I'd love to grow some little citrus trees.

I don't know. I was talking to the builder who built the homes in my neighborhood and he gave me the impression that it would be prohibitively expensive. But there seems to be a local phenomenon of folks just not wanting to spend money. Everybody rolls their eyes about how warm I keep my home, but my gas bill is far lower here than it ever was in Washington. Maybe it's a Midwest thing. I could look into the actual cost farther and not rely on anybody else's perception of what "expensive" means.Why can't you?
