Tunnel or shed?

You definately NEED more sunlight or artificial lighting so the crops get to take maximum advantage of photsyntesis.

I assume you mixed & poured it all yourself? I am extremely impressed! I will have to show my engineer, maybe I can convince him to do something similar

Yes. Mixed & poured it ourselves. I think my wife's arms are bigger than mine. Lol

The photo inside was taken at four in the afternoon....but I agree with you and I am working on it.

I love the green house. I have lots of scrap corrugated tin that I have scrounged from various places. I have a frame, not put up yet. I like the idea of metal sides at the bottom, because we let the animals out in the yard and it would help keep feet from pawing at it, but I would use clear corrugated or plastic for the rest.

I think you did a great job on the green house. There is a famous farmer, Joel Salatin, http://www.polyfacefarms.com/speaking-protocol/joels-bio/
and he uses green houses to winter his stock in. He hangs wire cages for rabbits and runs pigs underneath. The ground gets fertilized and tilled. LOL

I thought of Polyface Farm also, but I think he runs chickens under his rabbits in winter. He uses pigs to till his cattle shed in spring. I had my pigs till where my goats lived last winter, worked great.

Here it would be lovely to have a greenhouse to winter animals in. It's so cold! Now off to pitch this idea to the husband/builder!
