Today I built a "mini-greenhouse"


What is that? Sound interesting.


Basically 2 plywood ends , a 2x6 nailed on top for a mounting/hinge place
for some old window sashes , plastic sheet on the front . It's attached to
the side of the house for a back wall . There's a 1x4 stood on edge at the
front to support the sashes and give me a place to staple the plastic front
, bottom of the front plastic is weighted with a couple of logs . The sashes
are hinged with some leather from an old desk chair - this was built
completely from scrounged material . Dimensions are about 93" long by 30"
deep and height varies because the ground slopes , from about 3' down to 2'
..
I'm considering cutting a square out of the downhill south/west end to
mount another piece of either glass or another sash , the plants on that end
would benefit from more light late in the day . Gotta wait for the rain to
end ... don't want to get zapped !
