Dan F asked:
I ged SAD really easily (Seasonal Affected Disorder) I like to grow some plants in my room but I cant get them to bloom and they tend to die rather easily what materials would I need and what would the cost be? I live in a small room so nothing large and I am on a budget. Thanks!

I found a few links online about how to build a greenhouse that will maintain enough heat on a sunny day (even in Winter) so that one can include a loft and sleep out there comfortably. Do you really think that’s possible with no electricity? I read about ways to maintain the heat (like by constructing the windows at the right angle to maximize the sun potential, putting special materials beneath the flooring, and putting lots of sand- filled milk jugs painted black around the outside, etc. but it still seems unlikely that it could work in a New England winter. The articles even went so far as to say that the structure should stay warm (enough) even if there is minimal sun for a couple days after a sunny day or two. What do you think? Anyone seen this work?
Mae W asked:
I want to build a greenhouse. I will use pvc. But I found out that plastic prevents the ultraviolent lights from coming in. What do you suggest?
Hezzz asked:
i let my puppies out to the garden earlier but there was a bird that wasn’t flying… it just hopped away, well into the greenhouse but it tries to fly but cannot get lift, i took the puppies in (which resulted in a smelly surprise for me when i got in). i don’t know what to do about it. its grey in colour, has black and white feathers mixed in with the grey, its about a crows size, anyone know what type of bird it is
and what can i do? bearing in mind that i am 15 and my mum is not in…please, i don’t want to let it die.
after i wrote this question the bird went away, icouldn’t find him/her. oh well. its nature i suppose. :\
mercedez76 asked:
I went to a silent auction and won a few indoor household plants. They are quite lovely, but I don’t know what types they are or how to care for them. Is there a reference guide or website I can go to to find these things out? I did take pictures of them, should I go to a nursery/greenhouse with questions?
