Greenhouses & Crop Protection Structures

Using crop protection strategies from simple row covers to four season solar heated and cooled greenhouses, you can create extended growing seasons for warmer zone plants, or an indoor climate capable of supporting Mediterranean and even Tropical perennials like figs, citrus, bananas, papayas and passion fruit.  Using simple passive solar heat storage technology, such as "climate batteries" under greenhouses, you can support a wide variety of annual and perennial food plants, almost anywhere!
