Our Sheds

Greenhouses

• Thermal Control: They trap solar radiation to create a stable microclimate that protects plants from extreme temperature fluctuations.

• CO_2 Enrichment: The enclosed space allows for higher carbon dioxide concentrations, which can significantly accelerate the rate of photosynthesis.

• Humidity Management: By reducing water loss through transpiration, greenhouses maintain the moisture levels necessary for optimal growth and seed germination.

• Pest Defense: The physical structure acts as a barrier against external predators and wind-borne weeds while making it easier to utilize beneficial insects.

Chicken Coops

• Predator Security: A sturdy coop reinforced with hardware cloth provides a vital defense against nocturnal predators.

• Roosting Instincts: Elevated bars allow chickens to satisfy their natural urge to sleep high off the ground, promoting better hygiene and safety.

• Ammonia Ventilation: Proper airflow is essential to remove moisture and toxic ammonia fumes that can cause respiratory illness in the flock.

• Organized Laying: Designated nesting boxes provide a private, clean environment that encourages hens to lay eggs in a single, accessible location.
