Author Garden: Green houses Miracle Grower Garden Helper Member # 3087 posted                       I'm thinking about buying a green house this spring. But I don't Know alot about them. Should i have rock or grass as a base? Can I use a space heater in the winter? When am I suppose to open the vents? How Do I ancor it down with 60mph winds? Please Help Me!!!!!

Its really all in how well you put it together. As for the base thats up to what your prefer. If you are planning to plant spring crops in it during the winter then id go with just a grass base, but if your just going to use in for starting plants id go with rock, concrete, or some black plastic as the floor. Ive been wanting a greenhouse for a long time, but i dont want to pay the bill that comes with it. I hopw you enjoy it !! ~ Cory ~ Plants: 17 | From: Salisbury, Maryland | Registered: Jan 2005  |  Seeded: 69.250.33.165 dbb Garden Helper Member # 4077 posted                       As weezie states it really does depend on your budget. Most quality greenhouses come with self-opening vents which open and close the vents according to temperature. In some cases these can be added to existing greenhouses. Happy gardening!

Member # 772 posted                       I like those alot... But I might have one problem with them with my home, we jokingly call my house/property.... "WIND ALLEY".......... There seems to be a JET STREAM that goes right thru mine and my mom's backyards and takes things with it...we can laugh, but sometimes it's not funny.. We lost a car port thingie one storm.... It was like a kite in the back yard.. Weezie * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.

Member # 3229 posted                       we have alot of wind here too. But I think if I sew the cover myself and double (maybe trible sticth the seams then it should work. Looking right now at other PVC plans. I typed in PVC greenhouse plans in the search box and came up with a lot more to look at. * * * * I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once. -Jennifer Unlimited- Plants: 1952 | From: Arkansas | Registered: Aug 2004  |  Seeded: 65.68.22.53 Jiffymouse guest posted                 did you see my pvc green house in the frugal gardening section? made it for under $30... and it worked fine till it got scavanged for a well cover Seeded: 12.77.201.22 suzydaze Garden Pro!
