Answer to Question 1

Water and electrical lines should be located and placed.

Answer to Question 2

Freestanding greenhouses: The main advantage is that environmental issues
(temperature, light, and so on) can be regulated very easily and programmed to meet
specific needs. The main disadvantage is that more land is needed, which increases cost.
Connected greenhouses: The advantages are that the overall cost is less, efficiency is
increased because workers and equipment can move throughout the greenhouse with
ease and do not have to go outside to move from house to house, they require less heat
because there are more inside walls, and less land is needed. The main disadvantage is
that it is difficult to accommodate different environmental conditions.
