Greenhouses help us produce more food for a longer time - we know this already! But what if we went the extra step and took our greenhouse to the next level? Greenhouses alone can extend the growing season by months - without any extra heating.
It's pretty obvious that the larger the greenhouse, the higher the cost of heating it but it is possible to curtain off a section of the house in the winter with bubble-wrap and reduce the volume that has to be heated.
