I am guessing that our florist can use 1/4 of what is grown in there, and I could sell the rest to other florist friends. Another compelling thing is that we already have the greenhouse there and empty (except the bedding tables). If things went well with the growing, I could even clear one more of the greenhouses, and grow in there as well. We have plenty of labor that wouldn't take long to train for simple tasks, but I will do alot myself. Also, I have found a good source for plugs, but haven't found out the price yet.

A few questions:

How many 6" or 8" plants can I fit in the greenhouse? or per square foot?

Does anyone have a source for a good cooling and heating company. Do people still use swamp coolers?

How much should I plan on spending on this equipment?

How do I know how much I need to grow to break even or make money?

Is glass roof still ideal for greenhouses?

Im sure there will many more questions to follow, but any help now is appreciated.

Proper temperature, soil nutrients, ventilation, pest control, watering, and supplemental lighting are critical.

There are various web sites, university sites and local extension services that can assist you.

I would stick to growing outdoors, but there's money to be made if you can grow in a greenhouse and provide cutflowers "out of season" . . . however it takes experience, knowledge, and time to produce quality and quantity.

I would stick to plastic . . . much cheaper, although you have to replace it every 4-6 years.
