Question by niksag_3000: Who will win the HGTV Green Home Giveaway? I think I will feel sorry for that person/s.?
THe Green House Giveaway is like a dream come true for most people, but in such hard times and so many people are looking for jobs. What do you think will happen to this winning couple?
Its going to be great at the beginning, but later on there are some things to worry about – paying the taxes and maintaining it. And to top it off, its going to be really hard to sell this house if they decide they can’t keep it. I only hope the winning couple can afford to live in such a wonderful home and not face bankruptcy at the end because they are trying to sell one home and maintain the other.
Good Luck to the winner!

Answer by kate
The most important thing is don’t put it in direct afternoon sun unless you want to create an oven. It would be best if you could put it in a location with morning sun. Most plants will do well with 4 to 6 hours of sunlight. You have other things to consider, are you only trying to start seedlings? Are you growing flowers, vegetables? What area of the country are you in. You could get help by doing a search for a Master Gardener. All you need to do is type in your state and Master Gardener to find one. They can tell you what will do well in your area of the country.
Even if you live in a cooler climate, you can grow some really nice flowering plants in a little greenhouse. In the afternoon you should open the door for ventilation if it is one of the really small ones with no windows.
Good luck!

Wow – I’m envious, I gotta admit. I would suggest you get in touch with a nursery supply company to get the supplies you’ll need. Presumably that would include everything – benches, containers, soil, hoses, fertilizers – the works. Check online for suppliers near you – and enjoy!!

What is a green building and why should you care? Why are people building efficient green homes? What is the number one reason for the increased demand for eco friendly houses? The answers may surprise you!
What is a Green Building? A green building (the noun) is a building that has been specifically designed to save energy, promote healthy indoor air and have much less impact on the environment.
Green building (the verb) is mainly a construction term used to describe whole house system design and techniques that use eco friendly, or green building, materials and components.
The following terms are pretty much interchangeable when talking about houses: eco friendly houses, eco friendly home, eco home, eco house, green house, green building a house, green home designs, or building efficient green homes.
Here are some great examples of using green materials for the home:
1.
recycled glass counter tops – stylish and eco friendly
2. bamboo flooring – grows quickly (sustainable) with durability comparable to hardwood
3. eco friendly furniture – made from sustainable or recycled materials, or certified wood
4. tankless water heaters – water is heated on demand, saving energy
5. low flow shower heads and LED faucets that turn on and off automatically
6. energy saving appliances and light fixtures
7. renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power
Why are people building efficient green homes? Why eco friendly houses? As I mentioned, the answer may surprise you. Most people think the number one reason to “go green” is for the environment or to save energy…but, according to a recent survey done by the folks at Building Green TV and RCLCO, the number one reason people are building eco friendly houses is for health reasons! In fact, a full 42% of those surveyed replied that health was the number one reason to build a green home.
Only 17% said they would be motivated by energy savings, and only 12% for the environment!
What do eco friendly houses have to do with health? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the list below contains just some of the things that may be causing your family health problems inside your home:
Radon, Environmental Tobacco Smoke, Biologicals, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Organic Gases, Respirable Particles, Formaldehyde, Pesticides, Asbestos, Lead, and Chlorine.
In fact, the EPA estimates that the pollution levels inside your home could be 3-70 times the outdoor pollution levels in major cities – yuk!
