The Winter Garden

Best Cheap Greenhouses? (Pt. 2)

9 years ago

Hi, I just posted this in the Greenhouses forum but I'm not sure how long it'll be before someone answers there, so I'll try here too. :) Here's what I posted in that forum:

'Hi, are there any tried and true Greenhouses that anybody would recommend for a budget? You know, under $200? I'd be open to a DIY but commercial is preferred. Thanks for any ideas!'

Btw, I live in Michigan. Thanks again if someone helps!

You might want to add more info such as what are you interested in growing, whether you plan to have heat, and whether you expect it to work all winter or just as a season extender. For instance, winter orchid growing will involve different needs than having a way to overwinter and harvest veggies. Is your site sunny, windy, etc? Are there local building permits or restrictions as to size and where you can put it? Will it be free-standing?

IME the greenhouses and structures forum is more active than this one.
