Oh my gosh, thank you for this!!! I kept watching videos of people using a plastic tote as a greenhouse and no one mentioned drilling holes! I had lettuce seedlings that suffocated and I needed to confirm my suspicions about air flow. Thank you for this very informative video! ✌🏻
For my purposes, I could use those for indoor when I start summer seedlings early february. I get stackable bins that the lids are also clear, not drill holes in the lid portion, and I would be able to stack them where my space is limited. And when it's not 10 degrees outside I'll have the flexibility to move them onto my deck in the sun in March and April. Great idea! Thanks.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I KNEW this was the answer to my problem. I don't know how I didn't think of it, but I am glad you did. I even had a lidless clear tub going out to the garbage man this week! Thank you so much!
I made one for my Bamboo and citrus trees.. I live in Iowa and I have started many lemon and tangerine trees from seeds. I have also started PINEAPPLE and BAMBOO and Kiwi from seeds. The cat ended up getting the kiwi seedlings 🌱 I used a clear tote with clear lid just like the tote you used in the video. I put a small 12v fan and an incubator thermometer and heater in it. The thermostat is set at 83°F-> the fan is to help circulate the are around
This looks like a good starter plan for my garden. I think I am going to use it. I am also thinking that after the greenhouse plants have been finished I can use the container to store my empty planter pots or maybe extra planting soil in it. so having a container like this will come in handy as well as making a nice size starter Garden. Thumbs up Garden Dragon!
That's definitely another way to do it. I prefer this way though personally, as I hate the smell of melting/burning plastic, and being slightly klutzy, I'd rather not have to handle a hot, pointy object! Haha, thanks for watching and thanks for the alternative method!
OMG!! Finally a diy greenhouse that I can make. I'm not a gardener but I would like to plant some of my fav veggies n fruits. I wanted to start small. This looks like it fits what I'm trying to do without all the carpenter stuff. I want to try first off doing spinach and green beans. Can I do this in this type of method? Great video. Very easy instructions. Not all that extra talking or crazy music. Just straight to the point. BEST diy mini greenhouse that I have seen. Thanks for sharing. Btw, how'd your peppers, etc turn out?
Destinyatk thank you for the feedback! This greenhouse should work for just about any crop you want to pop in there. My pepper seedlings did very well in this, but were completely decimated by a horde of apparently starving slugs when it got too warm out and I had to open it to prevent fried pepper babies. I wish you better luck with your beans and spinach! Happy growing!
OMG I live in Scotland and when you said what temperature it was outside I thought I better rethink my greenhouse and get a heated one. We are lucky if it gets to 18c in the summer. I love your idea though fantastic. Love from Scotland x
the comparison with your hole-less bin at the end was great! I was wondering on the air flow for my project as well, whether I should seal it like a terrarium or leave some spaces for air flow. Would've been great to see the results with your peppers as well. Do you think the size of the holes made the trick? A bit bigger and the condensation wouldn't have been that good? Anyway thanks for sharing!
Will this protect my plants from overnight frost? I want to get my plants started NOW even though planting in my zone doesn't really happen until May...
Love this! No extra fuss. My only note is that I will be adding the recycled water bottle self watering planters to this for seedlings. Less worries about them drying out in the sun.
I have been using totes for greenhouses for quite some time now,I never use the top of the tote it is not needed,in fact it's better without it and you should put a couple rows of holes at the bottom so as to draw air in from the bottom and out through the top,just put the tote on ground and put dirt around it in order to seal to keep the slug out.
Did you need to take lid off to drill drainage holes on rim? With it being upside down the lip will catch water so if you put holes in bin lip that would catch more wouldn't it? I don't know but thanks for great video.
Can you keep them in this little greenhouse during any season or is it specifically made for the winter? might be a dumb question but I'm entirely new to this lol
You can put a handle on top also. A Rope Cord ,Twine, etc thru the top holes to carry. Also I wonder if you can secure it to ground in case of wind, etc.
im hoping to do something like this for my orchids. I have 5 phalaenopsis orchids and i live in arizona. Ive had my orchids for almost 2 years now and I have only ever lost 1. (3$ in the clearance section with 1 root. i was sad but its okay.) I tried to use the bottom half of an old bug box my friend used to catch grasshoppers in to release them elsewhere and it retained moisture TOO well. this helps a lot. thank you so much for giving input about DIY greenhouses
A good way to stop the cracking when drilling is to place a board Dow put the plastic side you are drilling flat against the board. It keeps the plastic from flexing and cracking with the pressure from the drill bit. I have a board specifically for drilling plastic.
Hey I'm trying to make a little insulation pot for one seedling ans I'm using a clear plastic bag, it will also be inside, will i need to put holes in the clear bag?
If I'm understanding what you're doing correctly, then no. The holes are to just there for water flow during the rain/snow melt off. They are actually completely optional, and especially unnecessary when inside. Just remember to water the pot when it's getting dry and to be careful about how much sunlight hits the bagged pot. There are plenty of videos around for doing just that, so I highly suggest continuing to search around and gather as much info as you can. Good luck and happy growing!
Swiftfeather hi just read yr comment if its a seedling use a softdrink bottle cut it at the desired height & put a little bit of water on the medium (soil/potting mix etc) & then put the top of the softdrink bottle (lid attacthed) back on the bottle its another greenhouse version... also able to be kept inside, if u r living in frost/snow or really cold areas.... hope this greenhouse version helps u out. 😊
Good job, but I recommend using a wood bit instead of the masonry bit. The masonry isn’t sharp and required you to really push hard and melt it through, whereas the wood bit will be sharp at the end and cut right through with minimal pressure. But good video thank you!
thanks for sharing.. i dont understand it.. if you put holes in it, the hot gases will escape and the temperature will fall. Is it not the case? Also, holes should allow the water to evaporate, and reduce condensation. Is it not the case? Why? Thanks and regards,
Hello. Will this method allow seedlings to germinate and grow e.g. tomato, cucumber, peppers, if the outdoor temperature is around 7 celcius in the day around -1 at night? How much heat will this mini-greenhouse retain at night?
What is the lowest night temperature you would leave this in? I start seeds indoors here in zone 6 in Feb. but we still have some nights with freezing temperatures after that. Would you wait til after freezing temperatures were over? Just seems like the vegetation would die, does this hold heat? I'm sure you can tell I don't know a lot about this, just learning.
Now that’s wha I was looking for. tomorrow I’ll be creating 1or2 these . Do you know how long it will take for the chili 🌶 and Tomato 🍅. It should be much faster right? You-Are-A-LEGENDARY.... in advance thanks for the Idea and god bless humanity and may god heal and and take away the pain and suffering. Peace to all
How much do you water these after? Is it a light/medium spray over the rows of cups in general? - Or more of a good soaking (but not drowning) - of each individual cup? My dad bought a mini plastic container greenhouse, with cover, and I don't believe has holes in it - with "peat". You soak the Peat balls, wrapped in a thin netting, which then expand/blow up big. You then add the seed/seeds - and give it another good soak. I'm concerned my dad isn't watering them enough now though, he's not the smartest person and may be incorrect with wherever he heard his watering idea from. Condensation stays on the top of the container etc., it's warm/humid in there, and the peat hold moisture well too...but my dad now is only giving the peat/sprouts a light water spray with a bottle - like generally over the peat rows (in this video - it'd be the equivalent of spraying light/medium - over the rows oi solo cups/pink containers). I feel like doesn't give the plants a good drink. I'm no garden-master, but once a plant sprouts/is growing - you want to give each individual solo cup/plant a good soaking drink right? Not overboard/drowning it - but it'd be some good sprays right into the solo cup (in this video). I feel like his lighter/medium spray over the rows in general, is just having that moisture cling to the walls/lid, keeping everything damp - yet not giving each plant the good drink it needs. Am I wrong, it's a light/medium spray - to keep the container damp - all each plant needs to grow strong? Thanks for your time, great video on a homemade version.
Hey! I'm kinda new to gardening and I would like to start growing some small fruit and veg outside, I'm just wondering if this would work to grow things long term and if so would it work year round?
Do you need the holes on the bottom? I thought the point of a greenhouse was to have less moisture escape. and I didn’t think the holes in the top were to “let rain water in” I thought the holes were more for air.
I use a large clear tote for all my seedlings. No holes at all. Set them down in the tote in their little peat pots. Put the lid on when they're outside during the day. I put a thermometer in the tote so I'll know if it gets too warm. If it gets too warm inside, I set the lid ajar to keep it at a reasonable temp. This is the second year that I've done this. So far, I love this process of starting seeds. Going outside everyday keeps them from getting too leggy and it serves as a sort of hardening off while they grow into little sturdy plants. Because it's being done on the way through this process. Right now I am trying to figure out if I can put the whole tote out in my little greenhouse. It's just March now.
Can this survive outside in canada in the winter time? I was curious to grow some roses and other seeds i got that are supposed to be cool plants but i doubt they are what they said they are.
Hmm, possibly. I'm in NY, so I'm only a couple of zones beneath you. This should work wherever there's sunlight. If you aren't sure that this would be enough though, I would recommend getting two bins, stack one inside the other and then put in your plants. The double layer of protection will keep it warmer in colder temps.
Random Finds yes it can work multiple ways if you wrap tinfoil on the sides and if that doesn't do enough from just the sun warming up the tin foil you can add pickle jars filled with hot water in there
Exactly what I was going to say. I may try this anyway, but I don't expect it to hold up for more than a year. (I have a previous container that I left outside and forgot about and it SHATTERED after prolonged sun exposure.)
This works. Have used for years to start seeds. A suggestion on the holes. Skip the drill. Get a cheap soldering iron from hobby shop. Heat it up an punch holes instantly. No broken plastic and really fast. I don't punch holes in top as very little watering is needed. Plus too much moisture in enclosed container is death to seedlings. Rather I punch ventilation holes along sides - top and bottom. A lot of holes as ventilation is really important to help avoid damping off. A tall contain is good as air flow in through bottom holes and out through top holes is encouraged - a chimney effect.
I know this was a year ago lol but I will put a thermometer inside next time it rains when it's chilly and will report back (so others can know too)! Hopefully I won't forget anyway haha
How can l use this in extreme cold wither l need to grow tomatoes....it is 20- outside .....con help me to do it &what about the temperature inside the box

A great way to think outside the box. Excellent for someone growing in a small area and has limited planting space. Awesome video.
Northeast Homestead actually it’s inside the box

Oh my gosh, thank you for this!!! I kept watching videos of people using a plastic tote as a greenhouse and no one mentioned drilling holes! I had lettuce seedlings that suffocated and I needed to confirm my suspicions about air flow. Thank you for this very informative video! ✌🏻
Girl I was searching too!! So much conflicting information. This is the one honey!!!!!
Great idea for the garden. I have some flats of seedlings that I'll be transferring to mini-greenhouses in the coming days. Thanks for the how-to.

Would you drill the holes through the sides if you stack them then? I think thats a great idea about stacking
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I KNEW this was the answer to my problem. I don't know how I didn't think of it, but I am glad you did. I even had a lidless clear tub going out to the garbage man this week! Thank you so much!
awesome idea. Kids had these boxes but dont use them anymore so great way to get the plants going early in the year. Thanks for the awesome video
I made one for my Bamboo and citrus trees..
I live in Iowa and I have started many lemon and tangerine trees from seeds. I have also started PINEAPPLE and BAMBOO and Kiwi from seeds. The cat ended up getting the kiwi seedlings 🌱
I used a clear tote with clear lid just like the tote you used in the video. I put a small 12v fan and an incubator thermometer and heater in it. The thermostat is set at 83°F-> the fan is to help circulate the are around
oh my gosh I needed this! everything is so expensive to buy and i can do this one! THANK YOU GARDEN DRAGON!!!
Great inspiration. I use the totes that have clear tops. Makes it easier to take in and out of the house as weather changes.
This looks like a good starter plan for my garden. I think I am going to use it. I am also thinking that after the greenhouse plants have been finished I can use the container to store my empty planter pots or maybe extra planting soil in it. so having a container like this will come in handy as well as making a nice size starter Garden. Thumbs up Garden Dragon!
5:05 is when the actual making of the greenhouse begins...
thank you
Thanks
LOL the hero we need
🤣🤣🤣🤣 genius
It's easier to heat a nail and melt the small holes. Super quick too. I hold the nail with pliers or vise grips
That's definitely another way to do it. I prefer this way though personally, as I hate the smell of melting/burning plastic, and being slightly klutzy, I'd rather not have to handle a hot, pointy object! Haha, thanks for watching and thanks for the alternative method!
gecko guy that's what I did!!!!✨
A soldering iron is good too.
Nah.. ugly burn marks and also it's hazardous to inhale burnt plastic.
I just take my 12g shotgun with bird shot and blast away.
Thanks for sharing. I love how simple and easy it is to make this green house.
This is great, I was debating on how to make a mini greenhouse but this is so easy and perfect! Thanks for sharing!!
I live in a terraced house with a small garden/yard so this is perfect, thanks!
O my God so easy, so simple but at the same time works very well. Thanks.

GardenDragon try finely crushed eggshells around your plants. The slugs will hate all those tiny shards and look elsewhere. :)
Great video, clear and concise, and the method can be applied by anyone. Very impressed, thank you very much!

My thoughts exactly. The holes have to be the right size to restrict air but not stop it. Allowing for condensation to build.
A very easy way to build. Thanks for sharing
When i hear your voice i think of Ned Flanders 🤣🤣🤣 Good job tho 👍
love this comment nd video
Yea🤩🤣🤣 from simpsons 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for sharing! I make milk jug greenhouses for my seeds - but this would be even easier!!!!
Will this protect my plants from overnight frost? I want to get my plants started NOW even though planting in my zone doesn't really happen until May...
There's all kinds of frost covers, so yes, this would protect most plants from frost.
You can use a heat mat below
Great idea 💡 thanks for sharing 👍🙏
such a simple and effective method. I will use this tomorrow. Many thanks
Love this! No extra fuss. My only note is that I will be adding the recycled water bottle self watering planters to this for seedlings. Less worries about them drying out in the sun.
After the plants are transplanted into the garden, you could use the containers for a worm bin.
This is awesome, thanks for your idea!
Wow, i never tought of that. This is clever.
I have been using totes for greenhouses for quite some time now,I never use the top of the tote it is not needed,in fact it's better without it and you should put a couple rows of holes at the bottom so as to draw air in from the bottom and out through the top,just put the tote on ground and put dirt around it in order to seal to keep the slug out.
is it okay to leave the greenhouse under direct sunlight?
Good idea. Thanks for sharing.
Did you need to take lid off to drill drainage holes on rim? With it being upside down the lip will catch water so if you put holes in bin lip that would catch more wouldn't it? I don't know but thanks for great video.
Can I use this for my indoor plants propagation?
Try using a flat wood bit and run the drill in reverse. I use one to drill perfect holes in my garden buckets.
Can you keep them in this little greenhouse during any season or is it specifically made for the winter? might be a dumb question but I'm entirely new to this lol
Will this work well in a very cold and snowy area?
You can put a handle on top also. A Rope Cord ,Twine, etc thru the top holes to carry. Also I wonder if you can secure it to ground in case of wind, etc.
Very cool.
If you place your container on the grass then drill it, the container won’t break as easily
thanks dude doing a project on this and you really helped thanks dude and keep up the good work
Did you pass
This time I'll use woodprix to make it by my hand :)
Thank you so much Shanta!!!!
Ha ha ha,
There’s always a scammer, in everyone of these of these video.
Enjoyed the video. Good idea.
Nice hands 😒
Hello! Thanks for the video Quick question do you need to cover it when it rains? Or does that depend on what you’re growing?
Will enough full spectrum light get through that cloudy plastic?
Would this help keep plants from burning in the summer? I'm in southern CA and don't have a shaded patio and would like something to survive there
No, they will shrivel up and die...like mine just did 😭

do u need to add the holes if u are starting from seed?
great idea ! thanks for sharing :
Do you compromise heat loss by drilling holes?
Thanks! Very helpful video, now my tomatoes will grow I hope! :D
Yes ,tomatoes 😉

Totally gonna try it!!!!
How long before this turns into landfill?
I would stake it down. We get a lot of wind. Good job
Did you also put holes in the containers the seedlings are in?
Yes, I always make sure to have plenty of drainage holes in whatever container I'm putting my plants in.
Good drainage = Happy plants!

Hmm, possibly. I'm in NY, so I'm only a couple of zones beneath you. This should work wherever there's sunlight. If you aren't sure that this would be enough though, I would recommend getting two bins, stack one inside the other and then put in your plants. The double layer of protection will keep it warmer in colder temps.
Random Finds yes it can work multiple ways if you wrap tinfoil on the sides and if that doesn't do enough from just the sun warming up the tin foil you can add pickle jars filled with hot water in there
Good idea, but many of those containers do not very well under UV light (read: sunlight)
Exactly what I was going to say. I may try this anyway, but I don't expect it to hold up for more than a year. (I have a previous container that I left outside and forgot about and it SHATTERED after prolonged sun exposure.)
@@AkiAmeko indeed, happened to me exactly same way.

Regis von Wagner heh, I don’t want to smell the burning plastic. Doc
hi. does anyone know how much the temperature increases from what is actual is outside
Yes, because I planted some celery stalks and they turned brown
I have the same question. I'd also like to know if he left it outside overnight.
Excellent idea,but use a haeted iron to drill holes.It is slower,but it doesnt crack.
Do you have a follow up video ☺
Thank you so much for this one 😊
what is the temperature in the container when the temperatures are in the 40's and rain
I know this was a year ago lol but I will put a thermometer inside next time it rains when it's chilly and will report back (so others can know too)! Hopefully I won't forget anyway haha
can that stay out in the snow???
Does this hold up through winter? I want to preserve my plants on my porch 😭
I would like to do the same :/
Awesome!!🤗
Thank you!
Ericka arredondo is
Use a soldering iron to make the holes! Just don't breathe in the fumes 😁
How can l use this in extreme cold wither l need to grow tomatoes....it is 20- outside .....con help me to do it &what about the temperature inside the box
