“Plant lovers,” meaning people who are passionate about maintaining their backyard gardens and caring for plants, will naturally be interested in installing a greenhouse. In this framework, the greenhouse should be well designed and designed so that it is easy to maintain and does not cause any trouble for its owner.
In order to ensure the well-being of the plants grown indoors, the greenhouse must have an effective watering and propagation system. Such a system should monitor and maintain the level of humidity inside the greenhouse. Water is a precious natural resource that must be preserved. Remember that one of the advantages attributed to greenhouses is that they are good for the environment. Your greenhouse should be able to benefit from rainwater, rather than relying solely on water supplied as a utility. Therefore, a system of gutters and drainage pipes should be installed to irrigate the crop using natural rainwater. It would also be nice to have a provision to store rainwater for future use.
The greenhouse must be supplied with electricity or natural gas (as applicable) to power heaters which can be useful in maintaining an optimal temperature during cold periods. It can be considered that plants use light for their growth through the process of photosynthesis. Thus, lights can be installed indoors so that plant growth is not stunted by lack of sunlight.
Online, one can find many websites that provide instructions on how to set up a greenhouse. These may include plans that would provide assistance in planning greenhouses with water supply systems. Others may contain instructions on how to identify and apply currently popular hydroponic techniques. Some websites also offer free plans to build a freestanding greenhouse.
Build your own greenhouse
For beginners, the following instructions may be helpful in creating a mini greenhouse using inexpensive and easily obtainable materials:
To install your greenhouse you will need items including approximately six push clips, one roll of tape, 3 rolls of 3M heavy duty tape, 6mm clear plastic, 18 mounting clips, 4-8 T-bars, 10 x 20 universal canopies. and optional lights and heaters. When assembling the greenhouse, it will be convenient to ask for help from 2-3 people, who can be your friends or family members. These guys can help you set up the frame and hold things in place while you install it. When making connections, tape should be used correctly to ensure that the connection points are sealed.
First, you need to connect 18 links to connect to the top of the frame. You can use four T-pillars to support the four corners of the structure. Once done, place an additional T-brace inside the frame and dig it at least 12 inches into the ground. In the next step, use the plastic sheet to cover your greenhouse. Spread the tarp on the frame already installed, using a ladder: use a heavy object like stones, piles of gravel or even flower pots so that the tarp stays on the ground and does not fly away by the wing.
our end! You have made your own low cost greenhouse.
