DIY Greenhouses.

Post: # 53969Post Camile »

Hello everyone,

It's been a while I haven't posted here .. even though I keep on lurking frequently ...

But I thought I would share these greenhouses I made (out of scavenged bits and pieces of wood):

The 2 greenhouses are loaded with rotting manure of cow, sheep, goats, chickens and geese, with straw and hay so it helps warming it up nicely.

The seedlings in the small one were planting a bit more than 2 weeks ago and are growing well ...

They look very neat!

Thanks.

They are not that big, only 1,20m by 80 cm ...

I used the "Pallet boxes" if you see what I mean .. it's handy to make raised beds as you can just stack them up ..

I'm sure you could "compromise" a bit of land around your centerpiece for one !

Thanks guys ..

The plastic used is polyethylene ..

I got a bit roll from a building provider ...

so I suppose it's the same as on polytunnels ..
