Hey all,

Just like cars came from horses and a cart to the cars now, and future cars with solar panels,etc..

What about green houses?


Can you draw up or give some ideas about future greenhouses? make up your own concepts.
Be creative.

You might find vertical farming to be pretty interesting. The basic idea is to use skyscrapers as greenhouses.

I have an idea for my greenhouse next year. Last winter I rapped it in plastic, but it doesn't get very cold here and I really didn't need the plastic.
I took the plastic off 3 weeks ago, I have HBWR, Caapi, various Passifloras, ipomoeas, a mirliton vine and moonflowers growing around the sides. I'm going to let them all cover the frame and when it gets cold, I'll leave the vines on the outside to block the north wind and offer some protection for my more cold sensitive plants.

And inside of it during the summer, will be a cool place to hang out with my plants and so forth. Plus my chacrunas should love all the shade.

Next time I build a greenhouse, I'm going to build the frame entirely from cane grass stalks. Then do the same thing with the vines.

I plan on building something similar to this in a few weeks. I'll probably use something other than cd cases, maybe a clear tote and some painters plastic.

I would love to build a partially buried greenhouse, earthship style, year round growing season even up north here. http://www.naturalbuildi...or-year-round-gardening/

Home automation for plants; water, temperature, and sunlight regulation. Make growing you own plants practical for almost everyone.

This would be nice, especially if the plants themselves control the lighting, feeding, etc .
