5 Low Cost Greenhouse Ideas

Frost is very harmful to plants. Frost has been hitting hard this year and lots of my plants are struggling to survive in the frost. Frost freezes the water inside the plants and when the frozen water expands, it destroys plants cells. kills plants in process. To remedy the situation, I came up with 5 Low Cost Greenhouse Ideas. These ideas are very easy to use and very easy to implement. Make sure to always reuse and recycle plastic.

Just an idea. By placing 2 gallon containers with water in them it would help to level the temperature at night. The containers would stay warmer at night

As we are getting older, I use the containers to plant things. Drill drainage holes for water to drain water out. Shower curtains can be used as green house covers, too.

We really like these low cost greenhouse ideas, especially the plastic tote container!
By God's grace, we would be trying out the plastic tote greenhouse idea, next winter.
Thanks for sharing!

I used large clear storage totes too and omg it was amazing for seedlings. Will absolutely use this idea again.

Great content. Three suggestions:
Use wire or cable ties to secure the pallets together so they don't fall and crush your plants
The box frame can also be made of PVC-it costs a little more but can be easily disassembled and stored if it's not glued
The box frame can be covered with insect or bird netting to protect plants from pests when cold protection is not needed.

I love that your environmentally aware!!!!❤️Keep up the great work! :D

A dollar clear plastic shower curtain from Dollar Tree is also economical.

[denisemartinez]

Great ideas I'll put to use using recycled plastic we found. Thank you so much. This was great Jag!

[Stephie]

Great video! I love that you are raising awareness about plastic waste as well. Xxx

[melindap]

Ok now you are winning me over with plant genius!

You could get somewhat better insulation on some of these by using two layers of plastic with an air space between. Also, the north side of the "greenhouse" will never receive sunlight (in a northern hemisphere winter), so you could use white plastic or other reflective material on that side, and pile up soil or leaves on the outside for insulation and temperature buffering. To take best advantage of this, the "long" sides of a rectangular container would ideally face directly north and directly south. Some clear plastic on the ground surrounding the greenhouse will warm the soil and may help with night time temperatures.

One issue with the plastics is that none of the plastics shown here are likely to be UV resistant, which means they will break down pretty quickly under the sun and have to be disposed of. UV resistant clear plastic would be more reusable and generate less trash, but defeats the point of being "low cost".

Thank you for this! Been looking for ideas on how to make a makeshift greenhouse with things I already have in my home and this video was perfect

[jameslaing]

This man is real. I appreciate that. He talks from the heart. You know that if you just listen to him. Hugs Sir !

[seedaholicgardens]

[Ucmirolln]

Thank you for this wonderful video. I searched YouTube and Google and found exactly what I was looking for right here! Thank you again friend. Happy growing

[LittlePieceOfHeaven.]

Thank you for adding the " plastic issue " and raising awareness!

[damnitHark]

I'm kicking myself because I really could've used this video last year when I lost most of my seedlings from a late frost. Thank you so much for making this! A very informative video and I have a lot of clear plastic totes that I can use. 😊

[celestestar]

Oh my goodness I want to do this so badly ... ❤❤🌷🌸this is brilliant I think about how many of these containers that ppl throw away that can be reused for things like this .

[randystache]

I can't believe how many free greenhouses I've recycled our thrown away. The salad green container is great!
