Small Greenhouse Tour & Tips
GROW YOUR OWN Foodscape and organic garden in your frontyard.
We take a quick tour showing our 6ft x 8ft (1.8 x 2.4 meters) greenhouse made by Palram. The video features our rain catchment system and barrel, solar panels for fans, two citrus trees (meyer lemon and mandarin orange), and our vegetable seed starting station. We discuss numerous tips for a small hobby greenhouse including adding insulation, strategies for passive solar heat collection with milk jugs and geothermal, building a strong foundation, picking a good location, and venting.

Fan attached to the solar panel can you put link to it etc and battery and any attachments plz
Great vid guys! I’m green with envy
I believe if you keep the milk jugs 90% filled it can keep them from breaking.
If you lived in the canyon right below Ogden I’d imagine that plus your regular house would blow away. Every morning I drove through there it tried to throw my car into the other lane.
Thanks
Best Greenhouse
super information, lots I haven’t thought of
Harbor freight sells a 10 x 12 for $600 maybe a little more that’s the one my wife and I are thinking about, of course we have to reinforce it nothings good from the factory
What about snow load on the roof? Do you have to clean the roof off from snow?
Cool video
I purchased the exact same green house! The best investment of my garden so far. I put all my strawberry container plants in it and they took of with super growth of which I have never seen as long as I’ve had them m. So I’ve put more plants and all my seed starts in it! It going to be good for my cool weather crops in the fall and winter months to come.
What zone are you in?
Excellent Video! I have the same exact greenhouse here in Maryland. Bubble wrapped (including a reflective wall on the North side, 10,10 gal black buckets filled with water, and a mulched leaf/grass clippings compost bin attached to the north side with a vent. Hoping it will be enough for the mild winters here! The compost bin I just checked this morning and the center is 130 degrees F!
What’s the temperature there?
Pretty cool you must be in a colder place to have to keep it warm I’m in southern California so I have the opposite problem I need to keep it cool.
Thanks for posting, that’s very interesting. Ref the jugs, you can also put a teaspoon of salt in the water in case freezing is a concern, but before screwing the lid down squeeze a little so there is some expansion room.
Can you explain which direction your greenhouse faces and/or which side you insulated? i.e. north wall of greenhouse?
Good joob👍
Hiya please can you tell me how do you collect rain water in the barrel
You must not have strong winds there. With the plastic.
Good video!👍
Fantastic!🙋🏻♀️
Please do a video on the arbor
What did you use to line your both wall? Just bubble wrap?
Thanks for a very good presentation. Liked very much.
When did you begin to grow the lemons and mandarin? I have seedlings of lemons currently….
