Wooden greenhouse construction in Kenya
It is made using locally sourced poles. The poles are treated and covered with polythene to prevent rot. They are held in place using a concrete mixture.
The structure is fully covered with a polythene and a net for ventilation in hot areas.
On average, profits from greenhouses are higher than profits from open-field farmers.
