Covering our Magidome in Plastic - Renter Friendly Garden

In this Magidome build update, I show you how I opted to cover my dome for winter here in Colorado. I wouldn't consider this quite a "greenhouse" but it is at least keeping some of the wind and active snow off my beloved roses and fruit trees for now. More videos coming soon on our insulating attempts.

I'm so glad you mentioned that you were going to show us how you make a door! Another idea for the future would be to add tiles or paving stones on the floor inside (I'm not sure if it already has them). They will heat up with any radiant heat and stop your greenhouse from getting as cold on those winter nights.

That is so true! Between all the rocks on the ground and some extra thick pavement stones on top, that will probably help a ton. Our work is never done in the garden :D
