Want to build frugal greenhouse in New England

[wordpix]

I want to build a greenhouse in New England. My idea is small at first but expandable. I don't want to power it with fossil fuels, which would make my produce just as expensive as the grocery store variety. I am considering a combination of pellet stove, solar and/or wind generator.

Does anyone know of a good place for plans?

1. I'm gonna put up a 10 by 20 hoophouse, should be under $500

for ideas

The kits cost too much, imo. you can build it as basic or as finished as you like

Hello,
You might consider asking window remodelers about any jobs coming up where you could take away the old windows. You could build from there. Also a local waste hauling company may have helpful information regarding dumpers ar remodel sites.
Lastly local building inspectors sometimes are helpful in finding remodels and teardowns.
Good luck
