US (AL): New $25K greenhouse coming to Straughn
“The county helped to lay the foundation,” SHS Ag teacher Rodney Wyrosdick said. “The next step is we’re going to get a concrete foundation for it and put the structural pieces into that. We’ll also have to run the utilities out there.”
The students will have to help put the greenhouse together with Wyrosdick, he said.
“All of my classes will help to some degree,” Wyrosdick said. “It was real hot when we put the other one together, and that tempered their enthusiasm a little bit. But I think they’re excited for it.”
The greenhouse will be 30×70 feet and will be different than the existing “hoop” house.
“We’re doing different things with them,” Wyrosdick said. “This one will allow us to plant trays. The other one doesn’t have shelves; you plant in the ground. So this one will be a real greenhouse.”
