Rogom
Greenhouse
Design
This
30 x 40 greenhouse uses metal tube and wood for the beams; mud, stone and wood
for the structure; heavy duty plastic for the cover and fabric blanket for basic
the insulation. Two small water bags are connected to a simple drip irrigation
system.
Benefit
The
greenhouse extends the growing season from four months to ten months and produces
enough vegetables for 25 students, a teacher, and the gardener's family. Surplus
vegetables from high yield season are given to clinic patients and the village
elders.
