Old Fashioned On Purpose

114. Cold Frames, Greenhouses, High Tunnels...Which Do You Choose?


Listen Later

After nearly 10 years of talking about it, we’re finally taking the plunge.  As discussed in previous episodes about increasing food production, now is the time to put a greenhouse on our homestead.  In all honesty, I’ve been getting tired of the short growing seasons we have here in Wyoming.  On today’s episode I share the in-depth research I’ve performed over the past couple months on different ways to extend your growing season.  Whether it’s a cold frame, a greenhouse, a low tunnel, or a high tunnel, today’s discussion will help you determine what option is the best for you and your climate.
