MARK HAY said… - I must admit that I need help getting the greenhouse up and functional. I seem to be at a bit of a standstill, and there is little time to waste. I would appreciate the help when the time is right for you. I found the soil moist in the Hummert catalog, says it is non-toxic and safe to use in all landscape applications, and several pages of pvc fittings that might be useful in some of your applications.
Thanks, Mark

- Bill,
Thank you so much for showing me around today. I loved the innovation I saw today at your place and your friend's house. I now see that I have much to learn, but that's the excitement of it. I saw more than I could grasp in a short time. Your methods for seed starting really got my attention, and the greenhouses full of neat ideas. Thanks, Mark

The solar panel is for a small rechargeable L.E.D. light inside. Some people like the conveinence and the security. Thanks on the Greenhouse! Regarding Mark's Hoop House, I was only able to donate about two to two and half hours. The progress I assumed was going to move faster when a man arrived that appeared to be very expereinced in Hoop Houses. So how have u been?

First off, let me thank you for coming out and sharing the day with us. 2nd, I hope to learn some growing tips from you in the future. Your pictures on this site are impressive. We got 1 wall built, ran in to some level issues, then rain drops. So, not there yet...someday.
Thanks again, Mark Hay
