Traude Karia's GH365 Eco-Greenhouse - Part Three




















As we come to the end of September, I reflect on what is my favourite season, which doesn't come every year. And that is "Indian Summer". It always seems a blessing to have summer extend into autumn. For Traude Karia's greenhouse project it has also been a blessing. I think we may have lost no more than a half hour due to inclement weather. So we've made excellent progress. In fact we have now completed the solar system installation (solar collectors on the roof, solar thermal hot water tank and the connections thereof) as well as most of the electrical wiring including the panel box.

As the inevitable colder weather begins to arrive, a third blessing, which a GH365 greenhouse provides, is the ability to continue growing greens, including 'green medicines' in Traude's case, for the benefit of all. It's truly like having "Indian Summer" all year round. Wonderful!!
