Re: size of greenhouses
I started with a 6 wide x 8 long x 7 high.
I now have a 8 wide x 16 long x 9 high.
It is much easier to control the conditions in the larger one....and you can create mini climates because there is more space to work with.
Granted my conditions are probably not anything like yours (summer hot/dry). I use misters, fans, shade cloth and a swamp cooler to keep the temps under control.
I'm not able to heat in the winter so mine come indoors. A combination of southfacing window, wire racks, supplimental lighting and a humidifier keeps everyone happy until spring.
The size of the gh should be determined by your budget and space available. I've seen several postings on OB say to get the biggest one you can and I agree.
If you can get a gh cheap enough to experiment with, go for it. But you may find that a larger one is better down the road.
