Q.Hawaii. Greenhouse.

Zone 96746 | Anonymous added on May 10, 2023 | Answered

If you grow plants in pots in a closed greenhouse you hope to keep out airborne weed seeds and other pests. So how do you get butterflies, moths, bees, flies, to pollinate your flowers? Is there any grant money to start a home based farm, greenhouse operation?

You can always hand pollinate the plants, but that can become tedious if you have many. You may need to leave the doors open for a few hours each day. The plants do need ventilation.

You will need to scan the grant websites to find out if there is any grant money for your greenhouse operation.
