Hey Everyone, My name is Stan and I am currently enrolled in an Environmental Tech and Sustainable Practices course at a local community college. This Summer I am interning at a small farm and designing and hopefully building a small entry level AP system. I will be building it in their hothouse on site. I'm currently reading Aquaponic Gardening by Bernstein but don't have any experience, so I'm a little nervous. I was told by a friend to check out your site because it is very informative. I am just starting to poke around and look into some areas of interest. I will likely be posting questions and looking for assistance as the project progresses, but I am pretty good at looking things up before asking - so I hope not to be a bother to anyone. I do look forward to getting to know you and share knowledge and experiences. Stan W. |

Thanks, good to know. That's a very thorough video on their site. Does anyone else on this site grow in a hoop house? Any advice or things I should be mindful of going into this? |

Do you have any issues with temperatures swings in the hoop house? |

Real newb question... How do you vent a hoop house? Do you just roll up the sides, or do you have a themostat and fans? |
