This is the solution for the advanced Urban Famer and permaculturist. In a greenhouse like this you can grow up to 2000 caterpillars of Samia ricini during the summer in 2-3 generations. The original greenhosue was designed for the cultivation-experiments of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Waedenswil, Switzerland.
