The Dome

As shown below, there is now a geodesic dome greenhouse on the property. It was built based on ideas gleaned from Growing Spaces, and begun by one Sergio Cohen Arazi, who left without completing his work, which was not of the best. He came totally unprepared and the business he began has already ceased to exist. I will have the work completed in a few days and can now design, plan and build these to a standard well above what the swindler was able to do. His web site no longer exists and when last heard from, he had left the country. It could have been worse, however, as most of the work was completed and he didn't even bother to collect all that was due, though the work remaining was of a lower value. The interior design originally promised by an agronomist was never completed, perhaps never begun, but no money changed hands there, so it was simply one more case of what is here known as a falluto, someone best described by the lyrics of a James Brown song: "Like a dull knife, just ain't cuttin', You juss' talkin' loud and sayin' nothing."

This style greenhouse is economic thanks to the saving in materials. It is also an ideal design for resistance to the wind storms we have here.

Next week the raised beds in the form of arcs will be filled with soil, then seeded. More about that as it takes place.
