The Question Is...... How much soil or buckets of soil would it take to sustain one person, multipled by 2 in order to preserve enough to get through the winter, but grown in a greenhouse to extend the season? Thanks. btw, can anybody recommend a good quality greenhouse fabric, the stuff that covers a greenhouse to let light in, but not water and lasts years? You have to remember that all the dust that is blowing around is also radioactive. That will contaminate anything that is not dust proof. According to Cresson Kearny (in his videos I think) the biggest chunks are the most dangerous because they hit the ground first, but the finest dust takes the longest to reach the ground, up to a year. Therefore, the radioactive dust will be the last to reach the ground and be very widely dispersed. I would think it would be easier and more productive to just scrape off the top layer of a grader plot and then erect the green house over that, instead of looking for a proper slab and removing that. Less labor intensive, but more contaminated and the soil less productive. Look at how big a garden needs to be normally, then look at putting a green house over that. |
