Transformer Greenhouses Multi-Season Food for All

You will enjoy food and flowers grown in a multi-season Transformer Greenhouse at a fraction of traditional cost and complexity using a novel, but simple-hinged design with standard materials and solar plastic covering. Quickly switch between covered growing space or fully opened to rain and sun or any place in-between, which makes the same growing space as useful in the summer as in the winter. Part One's rich, full-color photography shows operational possibilities and 3 different working one- and two-sided designs. Part Two includes illustrated construction details for a 12x18 foot greenhouse, with practical ideas for its year-round use and further refinement. You make the sheltering walls of solar transmitting plastic shift to fit the day's weather by using ropes to lower and raise one or both sides that curve over the arched ribs above the growing space. During the many months of the brown-grey lifelessness of the colder seasons, it is truly one of the finer spirit-lifting things in life to walk into the warm scents and sights of edible and colorful plants in a greenhouse. The Transformer Greenhouse's incredible affordability adds to the options for mental and physical health. Equally engaging is to contribute a portion of the crop to services for the food challenged, and to model for local schools the options for carrying out real-world science and math activities in a garden during the actual school year. Our ability to change is key to our survival and thriving. Solve heat venting issues efficiently and effectively. As the warming world increases the frequency of more extreme weather fluctuations in rain, cold and heat, the Transformer Greenhouse's changeability provides an affordable means to match the challenge. Think global, act local. It is possible for one person to build the included design or for a construction crew to complete the design in a day. 8.5x11 inch layout, 52 pages.
