How many greenhouses do I need in order to get rich?
Greenhouse tomato production is a highly technical horticultural business. Any new grower will make many mistakes while climbing the steep learning curve associated with starting out in the greenhouse tomato business. I always advise people to start with one greenhouse, even if they intend to eventually grow an acre or more. It is much better to learn and make mistakes on one greenhouse than on 10. Starting too big is the number one reason for failure.
