Build Your Own Portable Greenhouse

If you love gardening and are handy with tools, you can easily build your own portable greenhouse. There are plenty of benefits to the portable greenhouse. Portable means it can be transported easily. This means you can use your greenhouse indoors and outdoors. As a basic rule, a portable greenhouse should be light enough to be carried. This leaves you with a couple of choices. You can craft a wood and glass greenhouse that is small enough to be carried, or a tiered greenhouse covered in plastic.

The tiered greenhouse is bigger and more spacious than the wood/glass model because it is made with plastic. If this is the style you go with, you should know it is possible to buy ready-made models which are affordable, spacious and efficient. If you choose the wood/glass style portable greenhouse, you can build from a kit or use plans and buy the supplies from local hardware store or garden center. Building from a kit is the easiest way to go. If you're really creative and want to design your own, a kit may be too structured. Some people even build their portable greenhouses from scrap materials.

There are many handy uses for the portable greenhouse. It is of course a perfect place to start seeds. If you've had trouble growing from seed outdoors, you will likely be amazed at how easy and fast it is to germinate seeds in a greenhouse environment. Even hard to grow seeds like heirloom tomatoes can thrive in a portable greenhouse. Once your seedlings are hardy sprouts, they can be transferred outdoors. Many people like to use their portable greenhouse to grow herbs and spices for the kitchen or as a way to effectively dry fruit.

If you want more information about how to build your own portable greenhouse, it's a good idea to read up on the subject. Ortho's All About Greenhouses is a title from a well-known garden supply manufacturer that can teach you a lot about building and using a greenhouse. Also, talking to experienced greenhouse builders and growers can also help you learn a lot. There are online groups, forums and chat rooms especially for greenhouse growers. The point is, the more educated you are, the easier it will be to construct the ideal portable greenhouse to serve your gardening needs.
