[Ag-eq] Final specs for redesigned greenhouse

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jewel.
What's frost cloth?  The catalogs I see must call it something else.

Too much like extra work Tracy!  The first thing to get entangled in the
"big net"  would be yours truly, so I will stick by my simple, no-nonsense
frostcloth design.
If I were to leave the plastic sheeting covering the top of the framework,
the area up there would get, impossibly hot, while my design will provide a
stable warm climate from top to bottom.
The column of rising hot air will create a vaccuum at the bottom which will
be filled by cooler air being sucked in under the bottom edge of the
plastic.
In my view, it is a perfect plan.

Hi Jewel.
Would it be possible to get some kind of cheap net to throw over the
greenhouse?  I'm thinking like one of those bed-nets to keep out mosquitos.
So, flip up the plastic door, drop the net over the whole thing, and walk
away.  The plants get air, and the net keeps out the pests.  Just a thought.

If I could work it out, I'd like some kind of big net that would go over the
poles for my big greenhouse.  Then, I'd keep the poles set up all the time,
and the net would let the rain and insects in, but keep out the darn
groundhog.  But I don't know where to get such a big net, or keep it from
getting hopelessly tangled.
