Soap bubble greenhouse! Print E-mail
Fri, 28 Jan 2005
Started looking into soap bubble insulation as a way to cost-effectively grow year-round here in Ontario, without a massive winter investment in greenhouse heating. It sounds unusual, using soap bubbles as insulation, to retain heat in the winter, and for cooling in the summer, but when you check it out a bit, it seems...workable! Look for updates here soon, meanwhile, you can explore more at Bubble Insulated Greenhouse.

 
CSA Update

It's 2008 and the new farming year is underway! Sign-ups for 2008 are way ahead of any previous year, with both renewals and new members already in. Share prices have been increased for this season (the first increase since we began four years ago). The season will once again be 18 weeks, beginning around mid-June. This year, you're also encourage to visit the farm at least once, and a new farmwork program is being considered, where you can do some veggie gardening here in the field, in 4-hour blocks, when it's convenient to you. If you're interested in CSA with us for 2008, here are the details for our farm, and the new 2008 printable sign-up form (or email or call for one to be mailed!). And there's more CSA info in the FAQs.
