GREEN HOUSE NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Let's begin at the beginning...

1. what is your greenhouse's purpose? To grow herbs or vegetables year-round? If your greenhouse goal is to raise vegetables and flowers year-round, a warm greenhouse with maximum light, lots of headroom and space for shelving may be necessary. If you only wish to grow house plants, you will probably require less light, shelving and headroom.
2. What size should your greenhouse be? Knowing your green house gardening goals will guide you in determining how much square footage you'll need. Veteran greenhouse gardeners will tell you to build a larger greenhouse than you think you'll need. If you plan well, you'll find that your greenhouse offers lots of growing and propagating flexibility.
3. How much time can you commit to green house gardening? Greenhouses require constant time and energy.
4. How much will it cost to supply a greenhouse with heat, water and electricity? Heating costs may well influence the size, shape, and construction of your greenhouse. Consult your utility provider for help in estimating the energy costs associated with various greenhouse construction styles. Your site options may also influence energy costs. For example, a greenhouse with a southern exposure and sloped glazing will collect the most solar heat energy. It's a good idea to check your local building design and zoning ordinances before building the greenhouse. Whether you're assembling a prefabricated greenhouse kit or constructing a greenhouse from a blueprint, you may need a building permit.
5. Will having a greenhouse increase your property taxes? Simple poly tunnel greenhouses can cost as little as a couple hundred dollars, but elaborate prefabricated glazed kits can easily cost several thousand dollars.
