@stevewfolds@mastodon.world @krahabors@toot.lv @faab64@todon.eu @gardening@fedigroups.social Really interesting stuff, I had no idea. Thanks! My idea was a mirror inside the greenhouse, to amplify and redirect the light that's already coming in. On one of the walls where the sunlight comes in, directed towards the shaded side. Then I thought, wow that would be a hassle, mirrors are so easily breakable. Maybe some kind of aluminum/metal foil? Space blankets? Haha.

@ElleGray@mstdn.social Someone should write that short story. Genre is existential horror.

@krahabors@toot.lv @faab64@todon.eu @gardening@fedigroups.social Clearly, the answer is mirrors. (I'm joking!)

@krahabors@toot.lv @stevewfolds@mastodon.world @faab64@todon.eu I looked into it last night, and apparently there are horticultural reflective films that are used for this. Also, there are diffuse greenhouse coverings which scatter the light coming through, unlike normal glass. There is some overlap with indoor cannabis cultivation when it comes to maximizing greenhouse efficiency! It seems like scattered, diffuse light is what's desired. Now if only I had land, I'd definitely try to grow strawberries year-round. :)
