Greenhouse!
Winter was moving slowly. All of us spend it in parts outside of our project. Now that the sun is back and spring approaches we got some things on the land done!
I proudly present our DIY greenhouse for around 150 Euro!
For the upcoming garden year we plan to turn as much of our land into a flourishing garden as possible. To raise the plants and give them an ahead start before putting them in the garden beds, we wanted a greenhouse.
First we leveled the ground and removed the good topsoil that was there. Later we used it to fill the raised beds in the greenhouse.
For the basic structure we bought steel profiles to put in the ground. On them we placed plastic water pipes.
At first it was a really wanky structure.
We kept adding wood for the pipes to keep the distances we planned.
Digged in poles, that would also be the sides of our raised beds gave it further stability.
In the 60cm high raised beds came greenroof foil to keep the soil in.
The hardest job was to fill the raised bed. So much material fits in there! We filled it half with branches and organic material. Then came compost mixed with other soil we had on top. We want to buy some potting soil for the top layer.
For entrance and ventilation Benny build door and window frame. In the middle he placed a table for the sowing trays.
And at the very end came the greenhouse plastic. É voilá:
Now the garden season can come!
We also digged already quite some garden beds and are almost finished with another building project. So its gonna be interesting!
See you soon ^-^
