The North Branch

The North Branch

Revitalizing our old family farm into a dream permaculture homestead. I have a garden, food forest, blueberry patch, free range laying hens, and I raise and hunt meat all on our land. The goal is to grow all of our own food with as little outside inputs as possible as quickly as possible, and eventually have extra to sell.

    Those aren’t wildflowers. I implore you to find a native flower mix. It will support your native pollinators.

    This comment is a sign for those intimidated by power tools. Go out and build it. No one is good at first but with each build you’ll get better. Measure twice cut once. You’ll be fine.

    We’re in the Northwest and one of the tips that I learned from a man in the UK was to keep a compost bin inside the greenhouse for warmth. This may work for your bigger greenhouse

    What would you suggest for high wind areas? I got a metal framed greenhouse kit but afraid to build it because our high winds. I saw a picture of one in this area and it was totally demolished due to wind. Our winds get up to 70mph.

    Hmmm I built using SABIC brand 10 mm thick 4 x8 Twinwall Lexan panels (not Free) With a Touted 10 year warranty . By the second summer the Crap turned yellow !! Apparently the makers' UV stability claim was BullShit. The supplier was incredulous.. initially unwilling to believe. Even the Maker claimed similar. Eventually... I received replacements.. Unsurprisingly 2 years later this batch as well.... has Yellowed. IMPRESSIVE indeed. Curiously some 1/4" coroplast panels. Albeit of 'green house grade' ~15$ for a 4 x 8 sheet have proven ~10 years UV stable.. Really cannot trust, let alone rely on the Brochure Babbles .. Kids.

    You should never use treated lumber for a greenhouse. Leeching can cause the chemicals to end up in your soil. Use standard (not treated) lumber, and don't use typical tar pr paint. Use a silicone or acrylic-based coating (Ames roof coating or their Blue Max coating is great). Apply it to the boards after cutting to length and allow it to cure BEFORE you build/install.

    Probably if you keep one side of the poles poles unbent. I'm not good enough at math to be able to figure out where the arch would be bent but you could probably dig it out.

    I used the corrugated plastic panels and it does not last. It gets very brittle after a year or so and breaks very easy. I would not use it again and do not recommend it . Spend more and use better more durable plastic or used glass which I think is best and you can find on local ad sites for fairly cheap or free in some cases

    Take a look at the Gothic Arch green house. Not expensive to build, Sheds snow easy, stand up to weather. Also, when you build your raised bed boxes, line the box with plastic, fill the bottom with river rock, about a foot deep, add a drain pipe just under a foot and then cover the rocks with gardening cloth, add a 4 inch pipe that stops at the river rock, fill the bed above the gardening cloth with a foot of wood chips and the remaining two foot with dirt. After that, fill the bottom with water till the drain begins to weep, plant your plants and forget about them. The plants will draw water from the bottom as needed and you shouldn't need to water again aka fill the bottom, unless the weather gets hot.
