plastic greenhouse

If your proposed site is windy .. avoid these plastic greenhouses.

Have a look in the local press . folk are often selling or even giving away their old greenhouses. OK, you'll have to dismantle it first, but if I can do it (and did) so can anybody

I had one when i was in the UK and it was great. The biggest problem was trying to keep the sheets in place when there were gale force winds as it was in a bit of a wind tunnel, but if bits blew off we just put them in the garage till it abated. However there was never a problem when we had stuff in it.

There was no problem with light levels, no leggy seedlings. I used to pack it full with tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and cucumbers for the summer though I preferred to grow outside. The greenhouse was just for insurance in case of bad weather and for propogation. It is easy to fit an auto opening window thingy from the garden centre.

Thanks for the replies. Glad to know the light is not a problem. Helpful to know about the wind problem. Good idea about the window opener. With that I could put it in the allotment.
