Thinking of adding a greenhouse or aquaponics system to your home or cohousing?
Here is an excellent list of URL’s to explore: www.sherrysgreenhouse.com/pages/structures/greenhouses-build.html
and some simple, inexpensive starter ideas: www.treehugger.com/lawn-garden/3-easy-diy-greenhouses-under-300.html
My family farm, a non-profit, was able to source some free greenhouse hoops from a farm that was going out of business. You can frequently find all kinds of building materials on your local freecycle.org website.
If you’re handy, it’s very easy to make an aquaponics system. This one also has heatlamps and a temporary greenhouse cover for below-freezing nights.

I have a friend who made an aquaponics system out of just 2 IBC tanks. It took only one day, including buying the tanks and materials. He produced an AMAZING amount of food, including tilapia.
Wouldn’t it be nice if every cohousing unit had a small 2-tank aquaponic station?
