Greenhouse Construction

Greenhouse Coverings
Greenhouse designs vary widely with the type of greenhouse being the principal decision facing growers. Two principal types of greenhouse coverings are the air-inflated, double-layered polyethylene, quonset-styled greenhouse (polyhouse) and the traditional glass greenhouse (glasshouse). There are advantages and disadvantages to both types. A key concern for all greenhouse operators is correct engineering for the location and climate.

Polyethylene. The majority of greenhouses are polyhouses. The principal advantage of the polyhouse is that it is significantly less expensive to install than a glasshouse. For this reason, it is often the choice of those entering the greenhouse industry. Another advantage of the polyhouse is that the two layers of polyethylene make it less expensive to heat than a glasshouse. The disadvantages of a polyhouse are reduced light conditions in winter and increased humidity compared to a glasshouse.

Glass. The principal advantages of the glasshouse are the high level of light transmitted through the glass and its long life. The permanency or rigidity of a glasshouse provides excellent crop protection in adverse weather. For instance, extremely wet snow may cause a polyhouse to collapse. Under similar conditions, a properly designed glasshouse may lose some panes, but would not collapse.

Costs of Greenhouse Construction
Table I shows the estimated cost of constructing a 28-foot by 95-foot, double-layered polyhouse (2,660 square feet). The design provides 1,700 square feet of bench space, utilizing 64 percent of the covered area. By producing crops on the ground, growers can increase the space utilization to 80 percent or more. Completely installed in 1990, the cost of this greenhouse with benches would have been $20,120 or $7.56 per square foot of total ground space. Although many growers start with one greenhouse, for the business to be economically viable a grower generally needs more than 10,000 square feet of greenhouse space.

Greenhouse construction can cost less than $20,120. Growers can decrease the costs of constructing the polyhouse by up to 57 percent by erecting the greenhouse themselves, substituting polyethylene for clear plastic in the end gables, connecting to an existing water supply, and eliminating benches, cooling pads and power vents for summer production. The prices in this example are estimates.

Greenhouse Components

Growers who decide to cut expenses with used materials or to build a greenhouse themselves should be careful to weigh structural soundness along with cost. The following section details some of the characteristics that growers should look for in greenhouse components.

Frame. The principal consideration in selecting the frame is its load-bearing requirement. Each manufacturer will specify the appropriate bow spacing depending on the strength of the tubing. The closer the bow spacing of a given stub strength, the greater the strength of the structure, and the greater the expense.

Glazing. The particular polyethylene described in this example has a 3-year service life. To provide maximum energy savings, the two layers must be separated with an air blower. Polyethylene covering materials are rated with a 1-, 2-, or 3-year service life. Special additives can be incorporated into the plastic to reduce heat loss. Growers normally use a combination of 4- and 6-mil plastic to cover the roof.

End walls. The greenhouse in this example utilizes polycarbonate structural sheets and aluminum doors for the end gables. These materials provide more protection against wind and air infiltration and provide better insulation of the house than glass. However, single polyethylene can be substituted for the polycarbonate, and plywood doors can be constructed for approximately $250. This design change could reduce the total cost per square foot of the house by $0.67.

Cooling and ventilation systems. Greenhouses need exhaust fans to exchange inside and outside air and to equalize temperatures within the house. If the house is not used for summer production, the vent and cooling pad can be eliminated, and a motorized inlet vent installed, at an approximate cost of $195. This design change would reduce the total cost per square foot of the house by $0.77.

Floor. In the greenhouse in this example, heavy plastic is spread on the floor to provide a weed barrier. Gravel is laid on the plastic in the aisles. Growers, however, may choose from a range of floor types--from bare ground to concrete--depending on the intensity of use and availability of capital.

Installation of power and utility sources. Well-drilling costs depend on the flow rate desired and the depth of the well. Local well drillers have experience on expected flow rates and well depths in the area. The estimated cost of a pressure tank and pressure switch for irrigation is $200 (Table I). Many gas companies provide the above ground liquid propane storage tank at no charge; however, the customer must pay about $200 for the hookup.

Benches. Although plants can be gown on the ground, accurate temperature control is difficult to achieve. Benches, therefore, are recommended. There are a variety of bench styles available. Those in this example have a wooden frame and a wire mesh base. They are a relatively inexpensive style of bench. In this example, four rows of benches run the length of the house and stop four feet short of the end gable. Two 4-foot wide benches are placed next to the side of the greenhouse and the middle two are 6-foot wide benches. The middle aisle is four feet wide and the two side aisles are two feet wide. The benches sit on two 16-inch cinder blocks and a 16-inch length of a 2-inch by 4-inch board. The bottom cinder block lies horizontally on the floor. The second block sits vertically on the bottom block, and the wood lies flat across the top block upon which the bench rests. These legs are placed 4 feet on center along each edge of a bench.

(Very) Small Scale Cotton Growing & Processing - By Nev Sweeney
Getting Cotton Seeds | Growing Cotton | Processing Cotton |

I am interested in processes, how things are made from start to finish like growing the wheat to grind to make flour to bake the bread sort of thing and I suppose that this is where this idea started out. Being your average city slicker, I had never seen cotton growing, except in those old movies set in the deep (American) south, although I did know that we produced a fair bit of cotton here in Australia. Having worn cotton undies for years I assumed that it gave me a unique insight into the growing of the raw material, well perhaps not, but knowing nothing about its cultivation I was ready to give it a go!

Getting Cotton Seeds
The first question I suppose is where on earth to get hold of cotton seeds? They seem to be notably absent from all of those organically grown and open pollinated seed catalogues. I was lucky, and a couple or years ago there was a stand at the (Sydney) Royal Easter Show in one of the agricultural pavilions that had a big container of cotton seeds (and a couple of sorry specimens growing as examples), so I quite cheerfully pocketed half a handful. Otherwise it might be worth contacting a produce merchant by posing as a wealthy land owner and ask for samples, or be honest and slip them a couple of dollars for a hundred grams worth.

Growing Cotton
Now if you own half of Queensland and wish to grow 3 billion hectares of cotton there are a number of texts that will tell you how, what the sowing rate is, what fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides to use to get the most out of your crop (the Manual of Australian Agriculture, edited by R. L. Reid is like that but provided a bit of background information). Try asking someone from main-stream agriculture about small scale and/or organic cotton growing? - "are you having a lend of me or what?". Thus began my search to get a bit of info on how to turn my seeds into a tuxedo.

I came across a book which helped a bit: Rita Buchanan's "A Weaver's Garden", an American book that was not overflowing with data but at least it took the concept of small scale cotton seriously (even Jackie French's "Backyard Self Sufficiency" had let me down this time). Rita Buchanan talks about how to grow upland cotton; there are a number of varieties of cotton, but if Manual of Aussie Agriculture says that upland is the only type we grow in Australia, I thought that it was a broad hint that the seeds I had were of that variety. Her comments are that -

You need a long hot growing season
Full sun is essential
Plant the seeds where they will grow (as opposed to raising them to seedling stage, then planting out),
and you need a patch about twenty feet square to get enough cotton for a blouse.
Well in typical fashion -

I live in Sydney, which is considered temperate, and the cotton grows OK in my garden.
I was very reluctant to give over space in the veggie garden to growing a fibre crop so I stuck two plants in amongst my herbs near the house in the front garden, they get full morning sun but afternoon shade. That was last year, and this year I installed a couple of plants right next to the house, but they didn't do so well, plants in the original spot are growing like a ripper!
I have started all my cotton plants in punnets in my small plastic house and they seem to transplant OK.
Out of the original two plants I got a shopping bag full of cotton bolls, so I think she is being a bit pessimistic here. Mind you, this is yet to be spun up into yarn!
Having decided on the only area that I could fit in a couple of spare plants, I then dug the area through and incorporated some poultry and horse poo to make 'em grow. Apart from watering the plants every few days, they did not need much care, in contrast with the commercial stuff. A friend of my brother's has grown cotton and reckons that all it takes is a bit of a mark on an immature boll to prevent the cotton from forming, so they spray the living daylights out of them. So far the only nasties for show interest in the cotton has been snails, and they go for the leaves and not the bolls, so much for the dreaded boll weevil! When grown as part of main-stream agriculture though due to their sensitivity and not being a food crop, they are one of the most heavily sprayed crops, but that, I suppose is the price of monoculture.

The plants were in for about 6 to 8 weeks before they started to flower......and what flowers! My ability to describe flowers is not the best, but the cotton plants produce a progression of yellow, white or purple tipped whorls about 5cm long and about the same in circumference when fully open. To my mind the plant is worth growing for its flowers, let alone the fibre it produces. Once the flowers are fertilized (they seem to be self fertile or at least I haven't seen any insects take interest in them) the petals fall off and the boll grows over a few weeks and then bursts to give the familiar cotton wool ball appearance over a day or two. The flowers open and then form bolls continuously up until the frosts kill the plants. This staggered harvest causes me no problems, I just pick them every week or so but it must really irritate the commercial growers, who I am sure would rather have one big harvest.

After the opened bolls are picked I store them on a board in my garage to keep them dry until processing. If a boll is freshly opened and the cotton hasn't had a chance to puff out, any water from irrigation or rain will cause the cotton to stay compressed in the boll and not expand out, so pick any open bolls if you can before rain is expected. If this happens the cotton cannot be spun directly from the boll, but must be removed from the boll and carded prior to spinning (see processing).

Processing Cotton
The bolls are fun to play with, but I want make fabric out of them! So I did some research and found out that cotton is spun in the same way that wool is although it is a bit more difficult due to the smoother fibre and lack of crimp, so a faster speed is used when spinning. Prior to being spun the cotton needed to have the seeds removed and then be carded (to get all of the fibres lying in the one direction ready for spinning). This was all very well in theory, but it was soon made abundantly clear to me why cotton spinning remained a cottage craft up until the invention of the cotton gin. There were plenty of seeds distributed through the boll and they were stuck like the proverbial! Just the sort of job you want after a hard day in the salt mines...sitting in front of the TV picking the seeds out of your cotton.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals logoPeople for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world.[1] Founded in 1980 and based in Norfolk, Virginia, it is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation, with 187 employees as of April 2006, [2] and funded almost exclusively by the contributions of its stated one million members. [1] Outside the United States, there are affiliated offices in Canada, France, UK, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, and Taiwan.[3] There is also the peta2 Street Team for high-school and college-age activists.[4] Ingrid Newkirk is PETA's international president.

PETA's slogan is "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment."[1] In support of that position, it focuses on four core issues: factory farming,[5] fur farming, animal testing, and animals in entertainment. It also campaigns against fishing, the killing of animals regarded as pests, abuse of backyard dogs, and cock fighting. The organization aims to inform the public of its position through advertisements, undercover investigations, animal rescue, and government lobbying. It also takes in animals, including strays and those given to PETA by their owners, finding homes for some and euthanizing the rest.[6]

The organization has been criticized for some of its campaigns, for the actions of some of its employees regarding their treatment of animals,[7] and for its support of activists associated with provocative groups like the Animal Liberation Front.[8][9]

Profile
PETA is an animal rights organization, meaning that in addition to focusing on animal welfare and protection issues, it rejects the idea of animals as property, and opposes all forms of speciesism, animal testing, meat eating, factory farming, and hunting, as well as the use of animals in entertainment[10] or as clothing, furniture, or decoration. PETA's president, Ingrid Newkirk, said in 1983: "Animal liberationists do not separate out the human animal, so there is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all mammals."[11]

The organization's website states: "PETA believes that animals have rights and deserve to have their best interests taken into consideration, regardless of whether they are useful to humans. Like you, they are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives; therefore, they are not ours to use — for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation, or any other reason."[12]

In PETA's 2004 annual review, Newkirk stated: "Everyone eats, so we have done our best not only to reform the worst abuses in factory farming and slaughterhouses, but to promote a compassionate vegan diet, providing all the resources, from recipes to health tips, that a person could ever need. We have also revolutionized the way some companies do business, getting them to stop selling fur, boycott Australian merino wool, and abandon painful animal-poisoning tests in favor of sophisticated non-animal methods. We have shown how to prevent flooding without destroying beavers' homes and how to prevent birds from entering "big box" stores without using cruel glue traps. In the past year alone, former circus and zoo elephants were sent to sanctuaries, hog-dog rodeos were banned, and cruel companies were fined. We also educated millions of kids about animal rights through our teacher network and education programs."[13]

[edit]
History

PETA co-founder Alex Pacheco's undercover investigation at the Institute for Behavioral Research in 1981 first brought PETA to public attention. See Silver Spring monkeys.Founded in 1980, PETA first came to public attention in 1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case.[14] Alex Pacheco, PETA co-founder with Newkirk, conducted an undercover investigation inside a primate research laboratory at the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The lead researcher, Dr. Edward Taub, was studying regeneration of severed nerves by cutting nerves in the limbs of 17 monkeys, then applying electric shocks, physical restraint of intact limbs, and withholding food to see what, if anything, would force them to use the damaged limbs.[15] Pacheco visited the institute at night and took photographs that showed the monkeys were living in "filthy conditions," according to the Institute for Animal Research's ILAR Journal.[16] He turned his evidence over to the police, who raided the lab and arrested Taub. Taub was later convicted of six counts of animal cruelty, the first conviction in the U.S. of a research scientist, although it was later overturned on appeal.

The case, which lasted ten years, led to the creation of the Animal Welfare Act of 1985,[17] and became the first animal-testing case to be argued before the United States Supreme Court,[14] which unanimously rejected PETA's application for custody of some of the monkeys. They remained instead with the National Institutes of Health, which had funded Taub's research, until they died or were euthanized.[16] The case defined PETA as an activist group that was able and willing to use undercover methods, the courts, and the media to achieve its aims.

[edit]
Philosophy and activism
See also List of notable supporters of PETA
The organization is known for its undercover investigations and aggressive media campaigns. Newkirk has said of PETA's campaign strategy: "How do we pick our battles? By trying to touch the public imagination, the public heart, and by choosing targets that will result in great change for large numbers of animals and set an example for others to follow when we win our battles with them."[13]

It is also known for its celebrity supporters, who include Sir Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, Dolly Parton, Morrissey, Montel Williams, P!nk, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Sarah Jessica Parker. McCartney has said: "When I first heard of PETA, the idea that it would be called People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals appealed to me because it was elegant and gentle about the idea that we simply just need to treat them ethically. I think the idea has grown from that platform, and now it’s a huge voice for animal awareness."[18] McCartney's late wife, Linda, and their daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney, also became committed supporters, as did McCartney's estranged second wife, Heather Mills McCartney. Stella McCartney, who turned down a chance to become lead designer for the Gucci Group in 2000 because of the fashion house's work with leather and fur,[19] recorded a video for PETA in 1998[20] (video) showing footage from its four-month undercover investigation into fur farming.
