Default Winter Tomato Starting Idea.

What you see here is the top view of one of my raised beds.
They are 12'X5'.
There is a 4X4 on the end corners and in the middle that is about 4 feet tall.
The ones in the center connecting the two beds are much taller like 8 feet or more.
What I will doe is make troughs 6"X6"X6' long and grow tomato plants in them inside a greenhouse type covering with all of the trimmings.
You will be able to pick up each 6 foot long growing trough and take it to the garden to plant tomatoes.

I dont have a lot of detail in the drawing show all of the fixtures and gadgets, it is a rough drawing.
Nor do I have the roof in the drawing.

I think this will allow me to start tomato plants one month sooner than I normally do.
All I care about is keeping them above freezing which is only a few days every winter.
It will allow me to grow 144 plants in 1/2 cubic feet of soil (each).
More than enough till plant out.

This will also allow me to control the onions.
