Orchid Greenhouse
Thanks for the response Gene. What would, in your estimation my investment
have to be to establish (as I described originally) the greenhouse as per my original description? Mariana "Gene Schurg" wrote in message arthlink.net... Mariana, I think you may be in for some sticker shock. $2,000 is not going to build a quality greenhouse with heating, cooling, misting equipment durable enough to withstand the winters in New York. There are bargain kits out there but be careful what you invest in. If you put 500 orchids in the greenhouse at @ $20 per orchid you have a $10,000 investment in the plants. If a mid January noreaster blows through New York you could lose everything. You may want to adjust your budget. Good Growing, Gene "GrlIntrpted" wrote in message . net... Okay, my husband finally had enough of the orchids taking over our living space and he threatned me with bodily harm g if I don't quit buying them. We've come to a compromise. A greenhouse. We agreed on no more than $2,000 which should cover the (minimum) heating system for winters, and possibly a misting system, and fans to circulate the air. I want the greenhouse to be large enough to accomidate anywhere from 200-500 orchids. I would love to hear recommendations, pluses and minuses of growing in greenhouses vs. a house and any other information that you think will be usefull. I reside in New York City and have about 400-500sq feet for this plan. You can respond here or drop me an email in private at grdengrl at optonline dot net. Thank you in advance, Mariana |
