Having said all that; the most covetable garden features I have ever
encountered, was an enormous second hand commercial greenhouse
which somebody had moved to his own very large garden. It must have
been 60 m long. Outside, it was pleasantly screened by planting.
Inside he had a growing area for crops; exotic ornamental plants, a
large indoor pond, a potting area , and a paved area with sofas, table
and chairs, radio and CD player. The huge roof supplied all the watering
needs.


I think that the success of the project rather depends on your expectations.
Do you expect a commercially viable profit or would it be run as a non -
profit making community project ?

I have had a brief dabble along the former principle and regretted it.
There is a reasonable chance for success if you can assemble a few
likeminded amateur enthusiasts.

The costs and produce could be shared if you maintain the "single" house
system or if using the "divisible" system, the produce would be individual
division owners and costs allocated by prior agreement.
