something my uncle made a few years ago...he took a 20' x 100' sheet of greenhouse plastic and buried the edges of it in the soil...a 1/4 hp furnace fan was attached to the far end and was run nonstop to inflate the 'greenhouse'

that's radical........did he have to keep it sealed to keep it inflated?

Cool idea. I really like the straight rows though.......:o

How did it do in inclement weather?

no not quite, he said he would open the door on hot days
apparently the power went out for a day or 2 and he said he had to rig up a rototiller to generate electricity to keep the fan running
