Greenhouse Construction

Wet rainy weather was a big factor in construction during the month of November 1997. The soil was previously a cow pasture with a silty clay soil. This alluvial soil series has little internal drainage and was difficult to work in for several days after each rain. This area, that will ultimately be located inside the greenhouse, will be re-leveled after the roof is installed.
