This book includes many low cost
uses for our Sun-Lite® Material. Highly recommended for the
cost-conscious solar gardener! The versatility of our
Sun-Lite® material allowed us to develop several unique
concepts and products for gardening enthusiasts both hobbyists
and professionals. Sun-Lite®
Glazing provides
highly diffused light completely free of glare and hot spots.
This revolutionary benefit yields high quality, well shaped,
symmetrical plants which grow faster, with better uniformity
and size.
The Poissons, experienced New
England gardeners, present their system for continuous food
production. Inspired by French intensive gardening techniques
that originally utilized bell-shaped glass jars called cloches
to protect tender plants and extend the growing season, the
Poissons have developed solar gardening "appliances,"
including the Solar Cone, the Solar Pod, and the Pod
Extenders. Use of these mini-greenhouses, combined with other
gardening techniques such as intercropping, crop rotation, and
careful site and soil preparation, can make it possible to
harvest fresh vegetables year-round. Details are given on how
to build the solar appliances, followed by information on 90
garden crops grouped by three main categories: heat-loving,
cold-hardy, and cold-tolerant vegetables. Although only those
with considerable space will be able to implement fully the
American Intensive system (a garden area of 40' x 40' is
needed for a family of four), the Poissons provide useful
gardening tips for all organic gardeners. Highly recommended
for all vegetable gardening
collections.
