Cooling down greenhouse in Alabama

[John Sanders]

Whew it's hot!!! It got up to 122 in the greenhouse yesterday, with windows, vents and doors open, but not too bad outside. I just finished making a cheap mister system work with a paper clip and stuck my old fan in the corner. It seems to be helping.

Any other ideas for a homesteader? Homemade if possible!

Thanks,
J

Shade cloth.
You can get remnants cheaper in the steals and deals section of the Farmtek website. Go for the 90% shade cloth. 122 is too high for anything but horned toads.

A/C unit.... might be too expensive and not effective..
