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? Margret |

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. http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/catego...?CATID=8050141 -- Regards p.mc |

Margret 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. |

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. What do IKEA call it? I can't find it in their catalogue. There's remarkably little garden stuff in IKEA. -- Martin Its called FRO: http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/store...ogId=10101&sto reId=9&productId=26435&langId=-22&parentCats=10109*10252 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 |
