					<description><![CDATA[To round out our greenhouse insulation and heating discussion, let&#8217;s illustrate the heating systems we use in our greenhouse! There&#8217;s lots of options, so let&#8217;s discuss some of our opinions on the matter! BTU&#8217;s, no matter how you get there, are costly. Be it propane, diesel or electricity. We previously discussed how we&#8217;ve prepared our [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Much anticipated, let&#8217;s discuss subarctic grade greenhouse insulation! Perhaps obviously, a greenhouse requires some creative insulation techniques. But, doing so is one of the major keys to operating a frost-free, semi-heated greenhouse! The most impactful thing you can do is add a secondary layer to the greenhouse. Each layer increases efficiency, a lot! Perhaps surprisingly, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Alaskan produce is legendary. Outsiders often aren&#8217;t aware that Alaska, and other northern areas, often bear some of the largest produce grown on earth. Growers in these areas understand why. Fueling plants with 24 hours of sunlight, and near constant photosynthesis for several months, is a recipe for massive growth. The Alaska State Fair is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The other day, we eluded to the concept we use that we&#8217;d call &#8220;essential harvests.&#8221; Let&#8217;s define that, which will help you more clearly understand our objectives with gardens and food harvesting. There&#8217;s little doubt that many gardens will produce far more food than is reasonably needed. The pictures we&#8217;re showing here illustrate the very [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So, yesterday, we talked about &#8220;force maturing&#8221; tomatoes. Well, there&#8217;s another crop we can do this with! If you&#8217;re aiming to get Brussels spouts this season, this will help you a lot! Despite seed maker&#8217;s claims, most Brussels sprouts will take their sweet little time to mature.
