Interesting, but I believe that PET is not particularly stable
under UV light. It would probably not be too long before the
greenhouse disintegrated.


I line my GH with plastic bubble wrap, and that lasts several years
before disintegrating. I'd imagine the bottles would last longer,
being thicker.... Jenny


Bubble wrap is polythene. Bottles are Polyethylene Terephthalate.
Completely different things, despite the somewhat similar names.
