I have always been curious about the use of green house in az . I find myself returning to harbor frieghts website and constantly debating on weather or not to buy their 10x12x8 green house and a portable evap to cool it .. Anyone using one?

<p>To combat the extreme heat I am trying something new, Im in the process of building a coolhouse in between a house and a mountain with the other two sides covered in plastic. I also want to learn all about lighting my new location. Some people in this group use greenhouses and evap coolers but then again I have seen some setups in direct sun and heat, experiment.</p>

<p>My whole garden is shaded all summer with a green shade cloth I buy from Home Depot. I only have problems when the roots can't find water.</p>

<p>I am currently building an outdoor IBC system which will not have any temperature control or supplemental lighting.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This outdoor system will have a buried sump tank. The fish tank and grow beds will be insulated. The fish tank will be shaded, but the grow beds will be in the direct sun.</p>
