What is the Solar Greenhouse and how big is it?

• Our Solar Greenhouses are the most energy-efficient designs on the planet for difficult weather conditions and year-round growing. They use passive solar heating in the wintertime, plus insulation, to keep warm; and use passive hot air venting, geothermal cooling, and swamp coolers in the summertime to keep cool. Cheaper greenhouses exist, but they won’t handle difficult conditions without using lots of expensive energy. You pay for the greenhouse once, but you pay for the energy forever.
• We have two series: the “Farmer’s Market Greenhouse” series, with greenhouses of 550, 1,100, and 1,650 square feet in size (with a footprint of 19 feet by 32 feet, 64 feet, and 96 feet); and the “Micro Greenhouse” series, with greenhouses of 192, 288, and 384 square feet in size (with a footprint of 12 feet by 16 feet, 24 feet, and 32 feet). These are second generation Aquaponic Solar Greenhouses which incorporate all the improvements we learned from our first ASG, and which come complete with aquaponics system construction and operating information so you don’t have to purchase separate aquaponics system manuals and courses.
• Our DIY Farmer’s Market Solar Greenhouse package includes the following: Greenhouse Technology Manual; Greenhouse Construction Manual with photos and step-by-step construction instructions; Aquaponics Manual with complete aquaponics technology information and materials lists for the aquaponics system that fits in each size of greenhouse; five full sheets of professionally-drawn CAD plans that show the greenhouse construction details and all the aquaponics system construction details for three different sizes of greenhouses and aquaponics systems so you can build the one that meets your needs. This DIY course includes free ongoing email support for student’s questions while building and operating from Susanne and Tim. This package is $998.

The Farmer’s Market Solar Greenhouse:

The Aquaponic Solar Greenhouse is now available as a DIY distance-learning package; we call it the “Farmer’s Market Solar Greenhouse” (If you prefer a live course, come to Tennessee or Hawaii to take our live two-day Aquaponic Solar Greenhouse Training). Both the DIY Farmer’s Market Greenhouse package and the live trainings use the same course materials, and cost the same. The DIY Farmer’s Market Greenhouse package includes plans and materials lists for all THREE of the following greenhouse sizes plus the aquaponics systems that fit inside them; you build the one that suits your needs the best. This package is $998.
