Mini greenhouse
 

Is it possible to buy mini greenhouses that would hold just half a dozen or
so pots? I don't have enough room,( nor can I afford !)a large one. Someone
told me a child's plastic tent would be good - what do you think?

Hi Margret

Below is a link to the BQ site. I found a mini greenhouse for £20, it might
be just what you need if it's within your budget.
They also sell these in Rapid Hardware if you have one near you.

Ikea do a small wooden greenhouse with acetate glazing and opening roof.

It is designed to sit on a shelf or windowsill.

Just the thing for "six or so pots".

Very cheap ISTR.

It might be a bit bigger than you want but have a look at
http://www.haxnicks.co.uk/trade/plant_houses.html

I have the large size, and it's ideal for my needs, but the standard size
might be better for you.

They *are* expensive (Dobbies have the large at about £75). However the
manufacturers
sell factory seconds on eBay under the user ID haxnicks. They may have
screw holes in the wrong position, or scratched glazing but are perfectly
servicable. I picked up my large one for £28 delivered, and I've also got
one of their coldframes. I've just bought another for a relative.

I've no connection with the company apart from being a happy customer.

What do IKEA call it? I can't find it in their catalogue.
There's remarkably little garden stuff in IKEA.

Well found Jenny.
I saw one of those in the house plant section. It had 3 tiny plants in
it. How deceptive a picture can be. It looks huge, but read the
measurements!

Those green metal frames with plastic covers which zip up are pretty
good as a temporary measure at this time of year. I got one in Lidl
last year for &14.99 and already have a £30+ one from B&Q a few years
ago.

Pam in Bristol

Just seen a 3 tier one in asda for £15 wow!
