Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Underestimating heating costs in cold climates
Heating can represent 30-50% of greenhouse operating costs in Zones 3-5. Model heating degree days and fuel costs accurately. A 20% heating cost underestimate can turn a positive ROI negative.
Assuming field-level labor productivity inside
Greenhouse work requires more skilled labor, trellising, IPM scouting, and climate monitoring. Budget 30-50% higher labor cost per square foot compared to field production.
