    Mulch?

    Some of the websites I read said that tomatoes love warm soil so I can mulch to keep heat in and also to keep moisture in. Do you think that regular straw would be a good mulch? If not what do you recommend? This will probably be tilled up in the fall in order to plant some other type of...

    Can I use plexi glass for my greenhouse?

    I would like to use plexiglass for my greenhouse since I will be getting it for free. I know it will crack and get brittle over time. But is it still a good material? Also what if I just did a plexiglass roof and windows but had an actual building (like converting an old shed)? Any thoughts?
