  • Greenhouse...

    Louie's been wanting a greenhouse for years. I've rounded up a bunch of old cheap sliding windows. Got a basic idea in me brain. I know Big Guy has a greenhouse & I like it. Yeah...I knowed it get's hotter than Hell in Florida...it's just a thing for me Linda Lou. Lookin at about 8x12. Thought's & think's & pic's be nice. Uhhh...obtw ALX...me compost is rockin...Fish... Uhh...I knowed there's some fine garden's out there...

    Make sure the top windows pivot up for venting, they do make automatic openers when the heat rises, a good circulating fan, auto watering system, and in the hot summer you can spray on some white wash.

      You can get shade cloth pretty cheap for putting over the glass so it doesn't fry everything in the summer.
      We grow lettuce all summer long in the shade houses at work.

          Yeah If yer using glass you will need some of shade cloth to keep from overheating...even in cool weather...Glass is like a magnifying glass...
          I would go with something else to diffuse the direct sunlight...

            Thats what the white wash was for..................shade, used to work in a huge greenhouse operation when I was a teen and I guess the shade cloth wasn't economical for a place that size thats why we used to spray the roofs with white wash.

                        If I had to do it over again I would buy one from Harbor freight tools. they sell greenhouses in several sizes and the models I've seen look good. I couldn't build one for what they are selling them for.
