Mini Greenhouse on the Cheap

[SHEP]

Just a teaser…mini germination chamber.   Supplies: Heat mat, stand (I used a rolling SS cart with rims on edges so things don’t drop off the sides when I move it), Saran Wrap, tape measure, 4 mil plastic (Home Depot), pvc straight, 90 degree pvc right angle connectors and 4 pvc corner connectors, scissors, pvc shear or saw,  greenhouse light and hangers, recommend thermometer and temperature setter for heat mat. From there it is just tinker toys, we recently just built it higher for growing plants. I used the mil plastic from back to front to have a door,  but did it last after I wrapped the two sides and back with the Saran Wrap.  I use large spring clamps from Home Depot to attach door piece to open in front.  But you can also use large Binder Clips (cheaper), I also use wash cloths and hand towels around sides to keep heat in, as the pvc corners raise the sides a bit. We recently raised height, as the plants grew. I also put a couple of water bowls on the mat inside to raise the humidity. I like the wheeled cart that has the 1/2” sides, cuz I roll the cart around to clean, when I spill soil it’s not a mess on the floor.  I have two more carts, as I moved to smaller office, so I’m thinking of doing another for my kitchen.  Also, check out my curved shower in background  where I also ran the glass tile onto the floor

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, he works cheap and still likes me after forty years.
