The picture is BEAUTIFUL, but the explanation of how a greenhouse works is beyond my rhetorical talents. Please someone make it simple enough for even a hot-headed global warming advocate to understand it.
I added a simple but accurate explanation of the greenhouse effect. I'm not sure if a more complete explanation (which would include a description of infrared radiation) belongs here or on the solar greenhouse (technical) page. --MiguelMunoz 08:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC) the picture is nice but i think you should put a picture in that shows you how a greenhouse works not the bueaty of the picture--216.197.206.51 20:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Greenhouse gases
How do greenhouse gases affect a plants growth?
I still don't know
It may be the gases that are in the greenhouse try to connect with plants growth which causes the plants to have the same chemicals as the gases which might not be natural gases but instead artificial gases.

[edit] History
The current text references a Jules Charles (who is actually Clusius, I believe) as building the first practical modern greenhouse. I'm trying to find a reference for this and having trouble; I can find that Clusius founded an early botanical garden but this is claimed to be the second in northern Europe, not the first, and nowhere in the Clusius material I'm reading are there any claims for seminal greenhouse building. [1] [2] [3] Is the person who put this in still here and do you remember where it came from? It'd be great to source it. Thanks. WikiJedits (talk) 14:13, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Citation needed
I pulled some info from the page listing the Willcox, AZ greenhouse as the largest greenhouse complex in the world. This ref calls it one of the largest.[4] Hope that helps. Mrshaba (talk) 21:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- A little context, please? Are you offering this information for addition, or are you trying to fulfill an outstanding cite request? Viriditas (talk) 22:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

- There's a citation request for the Willcox info on the greenhouse page. The above source lists the Willcox site as one of the largest greenhouse complexes but I could not find a ref that listed it as "the largest" as the page says. Someone familiar with greenhouses might know the Willcox site is the largest but I listed the ref for review. Hope that provides some context. Mrshaba (talk) 01:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
There are way bigger greenhouse complexes around the world, one of the really large ones is the almeria region in Spain where the huge amount of greenhouses is vissible from space [5]. Almeria is covered with almost 50.000 acres of geenhouses so the willcox area is tiny. 83.162.7.204 (talk) 13:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
RE: Almira, Spain I changed the article to read "50,000" acres instead of "50.000" acres." In Spanish, the period is used instead of a comma to indicate thousands, but since this article is written in English, it might be confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.125.49.252 (talk) 21:40, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
