Plants are in the Greenhouse Planters

The plants are in!

Here's YP preparing the kitchen planter by installing a rubber liner to protect the planter walls and adding a 1" layer of sand at the bottom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we build up layers of compost, straw and peat moss until we reach 1" below the top of the planter. Finally we topped with wood shavings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went with mostly tropical plants to test the viability of the greenhouse environment during our harsh winters. They include: mini orange, avocado, kaffir lime, loquat, lychee, anthurium, banana, fig, passion fruit, soursop, life plant, poinsettia, arctic kiwi, rosemary, basil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More plants will be added as these ones take root and flourish. We want a combination of dwarf trees, bushes, ground cover and vines to make full use of the space. Also, a combination of food bearing, air cleaning and water cleaning plants.
