Hi all!
Rather than take over the HFGH thread (since we are not building another HF), I am starting a new thread for our orchid greenhouse.
Decisions, decisions...GrowSpan Gothic Pro OR the Atlas Frances Greenhouse. Well, we went in favor of the lower priced GrowSpan Gothic Pro.
While both GH are highly rated by some orchid folks down in NE Florida, the Atlas was double the cost without the accessories and that is just not in the budget.
Plus a friend of mine who grows great award winning Vandas uses the GrowSpan system up in Springfield, MO (near our zone) so I think it will be fine.
Step one is to clear the site. Yesterday afternoon, we felled nine trees on our property (5 that were directly related to the GH site). We have about 6 more small ones to go before we can start laying out the ground and leveling.
One MAJOR change to this plan is that we are not going to put in a concrete pad. We are going to dig down and put in a limestone base very similar to an equestrian arena. They drain well and should be much easier on my back. More later with pictures of the site!
