A wealth of information.. Thank you! Your garden is very cute.

Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to find videos that show how to actually use this type of greenhouse. Most just show how to set it up.

[juliabird]

This is unbelievably helpful! Thank you soooo much. I just got one of these and wasn’t sure where to start. Thank you!!!!

What you've created with the water and gravel base is called a heat sink. Very cool.

Thank you for this wonderful vid! I just purchased 1 recently.

I have one just like yours. I got some shade cloth and using plastic cover as a pattern i made another cover. Helps regulate heat and cold. Even though mines in a semi protected area it has blown over until I put boards outside on the flaps then used cement blocks on top of those. Additionally i crisscrossed over the top with heavy paracord tying it to outside loops then a cement block. I strung cord through pool noodles making sure they buffer contact with the greenhouse . Works like a charm! Before that i was needing to replace broken connections. (Son has a 3D printer)

Hi I brought mine in February this year and I find its great. I lined mine inside with bubble wrap

I am picking one of these greenhouses as an Aldi find this next Wednesday. Can’t wait.

I got a smaller one that I plan to place on my deck, and secure it to my deck, because it does get very windy around spring. I'm also going to try my hand at winter sowing, using empty gallon milk jugs and half gallon juice bottles.

I live in an urban area so size is something of consideration, but the one you have is of perfect size. This video has definitely convinced me to take this drive to county at my tractor supply store and pick one up today! 👍🏾

Thanks for the overview. I have two of the smaller types of these and have not been very good about testing to see what they can really do. Your video gives me some ideas!

[jennymettam]

Love your friendly disposition. Interesting!! Hold thumbs.. I've just invested in a tiny greenhouse

[kathyjenkins]

Very informative video! Learned alot! Thank you❤

Great review on the unheated greenhouse. So I had one half the size of yours and loved it. I've used it 3 years now but I've ordered a bigger one and just need to put it together. I would suggest if you love starting seeds to get one. Thanks for a lovely video. Happy gardening!! Jerris

Thank you for a great explanation of these greenhouses. I bought a smaller one, am in zone 7, and now I know how I should consider using it. I do need to check on securing it better. Right now, it's weighted down with heavy pots on the lowest shelf waiting to be able to bring seedlings outside in a couple of weeks.

I put cinder blocks down to hold mine down and it worked really well

[helenagreenwood]

I had a small one with 3 shelves and decided to buy another one with 4 shelves ready for expanding planting this year - I cleaned all my spare pots and housed them inside them both for the winter - unfortunately we had very heavy winds in UK November time and the bigger one went on a nice blowy journey around my garden displacing the pots everywhere 🥴 and the bottom legs were damaged so I now have 2 with 3 shelves 🙄

I’m in Northern California zone 9b. I have a fairly large unheated greenhouse. I started tomato seeds indoors and now I’ve put the seedlings in the green house. So far they’re doing ok. But, we’ve been having a mild winter so far. Not much frost so I’m hoping that continues. I’ve also overwintering 2 cherry tomato plants. Still alive 👍.

You can always throw a small aquarium heater in that tub with the fish and it will keep the water warm on cold nights to radiate back into the greenhouse

Great vid 👍🏼. Still a newbie & Im kinda late in seed starting! starting them indoors then repot in those Solo cups. have them hang in my repurposed mini greenhouse til ready. Im using our old metal tall bathroom shelf(you know, the one you could place around your toilet, has 4shelves) lol & covering with plastic clamped on! Hopefully will do ok & dont blow away! Zone7 too NJ😅🤞🏼
