Hi all,

I live in zone 5 (NY state) and would like a greenhouse to raise some tropical fruit trees, along with some herbs and veggies. I'm looking at the FarmTek Premium Solar Star 18wx12hx32L. That seems big, but I think when you start with the fruiting trees it can fill up pretty fast.

Anyone have experience with this brand/model?

Also I'm not sure yet what kind of foundation is needed. I would like to dig down a couple feet and build a foundation with pressure treated 6x6 lumber with insulation on the outside. Below a couple of feet I hit ground water. The newer kind of ACQ pressure treated wood doesn't contain arsenic and probably would be fine with food crops, but I'm not totally resolved on that yet.
