Grnhouse I built a greenhouse over the last 6 months

[Masterphreak]

I have been busy working on building myself a greenhouse over the fall/winter. Not only was this a great learning experience for myself and my son we now have the space to start lots of extras for friends, family, and selling.








I was able to salvage the windows from someone on FB and found the door at a secondhand home store. I had the shelves and lights from my previous indoor operations. The rest I bought as I could afford it.

Yes it is!

 

[packyderms_wife]

that's incredible, and your raised beds are really nice looking as well!

 

[Jackpine Savage]

Nicely done!

 

[hiwall]

Wow !!! Nice job. And thanks for the pictures.

Really, really nice. I love that you salvaged a lot of the materials, makes it even better IMO!

Ha!

Now you got to add on to it. Or make a much bigger one! Soon your be installing a ventilation system, evaporation system, and or a dehumidifing system with central AC.

A friend has made it rich, by building custom grow rooms out of 40 foot connexes/shipping containers. He invests a few weeks of his time, and about $30k in HVAC and dehumidifiers with grow tables and drainage/water systems. Plus more for more currency. He averages over $100,000 per container.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Fabulous work.

I see you already have beer sprouting in one pic.

Fabulous work.

I see you already have beer sprouting in one pic.

I thought it was in the building codes that at least one beer be consumed before the project is finished. Sorta like burying a body under the hearth. Or was it the cornerstone? Beer is easier.

nice job, and thanks for the pics

Nice!

That's what I call spectacular! I'm going to study your pictures and do some research. Who knows? You may have inspired me to do something! :-)

 

[magnetic1]

That is absolutely amazing! Wow. I am very impressed!

Here is a little plant progress update. The tomatoes and peppers will need transplanting soon.





Some more peppers and also some marigolds that are getting a late start.



Dusk this evening.

I have to say, I really enjoy just spending time in my greenhouse.

 

[Pinecone]

Thanks for sharing. I'll just have to live vicariously through yours for now.

Way cool!!! Very jealous!

I have a dream of building an underground home, and on the one side facing the south, have the length of it fronted with a greenhouse! The rest would be built into a hill or bermed.

 

[BenIan]

Really cool...good work.

 

[Babs]

Very nice!!!

 

[Littlesister]

Beautiful!

 

[Fairwillows]

Excellent! Well done!

 

[Masterphreak]

Transplanting peppers last night and thought I would show what I use for plant tags. I salvaged some old mini blind slats and just cut them down to size.

 

[Freeholder]

That's a beautiful greenhouse!

 

[Masterphreak]

that's incredible, and your raised beds are really nice looking as well!

The raised beds are also partially salvaged pallets. Just the frames are pressure-treated wood.

I've always wanted to build a greenhouse like that too. Maybe someday.

I will try and post some more construction photos from the whole process.

I also use old plastic mini-blind slats for plant markers, but I cut them twice as long as I need them, and then cut each of those pieces in half on the diagonal so that each marker ends up with one pointed end, which is much easier to shove into the soil.

you have some transplanting to do - that's a good thing.
We started several Compari tomato inside a while back, just about ready to transplant.

 

[ShadowMan]

Nicely done. Wish the wood prices around here would get back to normal. I've been salvaging windows right and left, so I'm ready to go, but dang!! The cost of wood is through the roof....bad pun.

 

[pauldingbabe]

Well done! All of it...

Isn't it fun? I love it.

 

[ShadowMan]

Masterphreak, do you think your particular design would take four feet of snow on the roof? That's my biggest issue here on the mountain.
