One of the things that my dad made us do when we were younger was work out in his garden. He always had a pretty large plot of ground dedicated to his vegetables. It was something that I really didn’t enjoy too much growing up, but as I have gotten older I have begun to enjoy it a little but more.
I think it would be awesome to have a green house and grow plants year round. Remember “Big Top Pee Wee” when he grows those huge tomato’s? That was sweet! (By the way, this year is the 20th anniversary of that movie)
Anyways, I don’t have the room on my property for a greenhouse, but I thought about it for a while and came up with a makeshift greenouse for my basement. I built it with some PVC pipe, plastic wrap and a heat lamp. There are two variations and think I like the 2nd one a little better because of the pots that I used and because it is indoors.
Design 1
Design 2
The box I built in the 1st design was meant to be filled up with dirt so that I could have a bigger planting area, but I decided I didn’t want that much dirt on the table, especially because it doesn’t have a bottom on it yet or a good place for it to drain when I water it. Plus in the 2nd one the lamp is a little closer to the plant, providing more heat.
Not too sure if this will work or not, but I will keep track of it and if something good happens, I will update about it.
