Another greenhouse made from glass destined for the tip
« on: March 16, 2009, 19:59:53 »
Here the latest project on my allotment. Keeping true to form nearly everything used was free. A lot of the glass was what others had lying around on their allotments.

I would love to, but traveling expenses to derby :o
Got the roof finished today, hope to get the back and gable end done tomorrow.
Then hopefully I can concentrate on growing instead of building ;D

Love the house front door!

Bloke on the next allotment to me built a green house very like yours - only problem with it was that it got too hot! Sealed double glazing panes really keep the heat in.

Try growing pinapples and bananas!

I love it!
A chap on a plot near mine has made a greenhouse out of perspex sheets and a fruit cage out of net curtains. 



This was taken last year, the curtains have since disintegrated!


Work in progress
