Portable Greenhouses – Great Alternative To Conventional Gardening

Portable greenhouses are a great alternative for the garden enthusiasts to do in their desired activity even if given a very small space and small budget. The portable greenhouses are a bid space savers which help to jump-start the spring planting which can then be continued even until fall. When compared to all the traditional greenhouse structures, these portable greenhouses are also easy on your pocket.

Similar to most of the greenhouse kits, the portable greenhouses are designed to contain screened doors and also screened vent spaces which permit optimal air distribution inside the greenhouse. These vents are opened for letting outside air to come inside this structure in view of transplanting of some plants inside to the outdoor environment.

Constructions of these portable greenhouses are almost indestructible and as like commercial that products which use UV resistant supplies which are treated to protect from tears or rips. These openings are well fastened using either zipper enclosure or Velcro snaps.

All garden enthusiasts who are interested in enhancing and protecting life of the plants in the winter will definitely love the advantages of the portable greenhouse. Cold season is the perfect season to take out the portable greenhouse.

It’s very convenient and also a transferable structure which can be put up. This structure is very light hence can be carried away from one place to another with the help of just two people or more without any damaging to it.

Portable Greenhouse vs. The Permanent Greenhouse

Increasingly the garden enthusiasts are making use of portable greenhouses to best suit the gardening needs for them. This is mainly because these are less costly when compared to all the permanent structures. But even then, not all have a very spacious backyard which accommodates one full-scale greenhouse.

Even though the term permanent brings into the mind a stronger construction when compared to the portable greenhouse, most of these portable greenhouse structures which are sold today are generally made of very heavy-duty materials which hold out anything during any season, be it rain or shine. And in addition, available sizes for the portable greenhouse are very small like even six feet by ten feet and can also extend by a considerable space of fifty feet by hundred feet.

Kinds of Portable Greenhouse

These portable greenhouses are got in many styles in order to accommodate the specific demands of any garden enthusiast. The lean-to style of portable greenhouse is attached to the garage or shed of the home, and at the same time generally serves as the extension of the house very much like the sunroom.

The miniature portable greenhouses are also got for the gardeners who have very less space to get the standard sized structure. All these miniature or small structures are collapsible and hence are ideal for the smaller plants like shrubs and perennials. Yet another version of this miniature greenhouse is approximately three feet and five inches by one foot and eleven inches. This portable greenhouse is very ideal for most vegetables and also young plants during early spring.

The very basic greenhouse design is also got as the portable greenhouse. This kind of structure is quite popular even today among many garden enthusiasts who even if they have enough space to get the permanent greenhouse still prefer to use the portable structure which can very easily be disassembled in order to free up space for any other activities.

Outdoor Garden Shed Plans – Need Extra Space For Your Gardening Tools

Outdoor Garden Shed Plans – Need Extra Space For Your Gardening Tools

My husband likes to “tinker” and he has all these tools, equipment and work benches that takes up just about all the garage.  Then there is my hobby. I love to garden and I have my gardening benches, gardening tools, flower pots, bags of soil and mulch, etc.,etc.,etc. Between “his stuff” and “my stuff”, and all of the holiday decorations that we have in boxes stacked up in the garage, there is no longer any room for our cars.  We have to do something, we either have to get rid of something or find more storage space.  Neither one of us were willing to get rid of anything so we decided to look at some outdoor garden shed plans to move all my gardening stuff to.  I was very excited.

We got online and actually found some free outdoor garden shed plans.  But after more research we found out that the free shed plans didn’t have all the information that a good set of professional designed plans had and they were not very expensive.  It was a “no-brainer”, we decided on a set of plans and made our purchase.  We actually went for a shed that was larger than we actually needed, but it will give me more space to work in if weather is bad and we will have more storage space.

One of the things my husband didn’t even think about until he started reviewing the instructions was the load capacity for the roof.  We get a lot of snow every winter and know the damage it can cause if you have a flat roof where snow can accumulate. The weight of the snow  could cause your roof to collapse.

Security is another factor to consider, specially if your storage shed will be located away from your house or if it’s located behind your garage where you can’t see it.  You may want to consider putting bars on the windows, security lights on the outside and absulutely a good heavy door with a bolt action lock.  Maybe you think some of this is over kill, you just have to decide if it is necessary in your neighborhood.

With any structure that you build, it is better to use pressure treated wood.  It is a little more expensive, but it will last far longer than untreated wood. Also, when you are ready to paint your new outdoor garden shed, spend a little more money for a good quality primer and exterior latex enamel paint. The finish will last longer and be easier to keep clean.  Afterall, you want your investment to last a long time.

An outdoor garden shed is a great investment. But if you are going to build it yourself, then get a good set of Outdoor Garden Shed Plans. They will more than pay for themselves by saving you time, money and frustration.

I am the wife of a “Handy Man” and sometimes even his helper. We have saved so much money over the years because he was able to “fix it or build it” himself.

Being a handy man doesn’t come naturally for everyone, but you can still tackle some of these projects if you have a good set of plans and detailed instructions.

Fish Tank as a Mini Greenhouse – Part Two


This is a quick Survival Podcast video to show you the effects of using a fish tank as a mini greenhouse on the growth of lettuce. It has been about 3 weeks since the first video and I have cut the lettuce at least 7 times. The morning that this video was shot the ground was frozen solid. Tonight we expect sleet/ice/snow mix. Tomorrow I will still be eating from this little lettuce patch. If you haven’t seen the first video you can see it here www.youtube.com Make sure to visit the Survival Podcast for our daily podcast on prepping and self sufficiency at www.thesurvivalpodcast.com
