Satellite Greenhouse FARM HOME Miscellaneous 30-4-31 "Many of us rural folks have been wondering what we could do with those giant eyesore 10-ft. dia. dish antennas standing in our yards. "My dish was bolted together in four segments so it was easy to disassemble and bolt together in nested sections. I made plastic inserts to cover the screening on my dish from 4 by 8 poly sheets bought from Farmtek (www.farmtek.com). "The dish is set on a ring of concrete which has a barrier of foil-backed insulation both inside and outside. The poly on the dish has an R value of 2. "I use it to start plants early in the spring," says Horne. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Robert Horne, 1138 Blue Springs Rd., Rural Retreat, Va. 24368.
