Thank you! I wanted a greenhouse and this is what fits my needs. Starting with the clear storage containers. And, yes, getting your hands into the soil is restorative.
If you put another sheet on the inside you'd get an air bubble in there which helps keep the temperature even better during the night, like a winter jacket for plants :D
How exactly do you mean? A new sheet around each sides? How much air bubble should it be? I’m trying to build one for my sunroom that doesn’t get heat during the winter
I dont know what zone i live in, just northbof parallel 49. I need to make small green houses to protect my roses and other perennials from frost/snow or too much rain. Your first idea is easy enough, I can modify it ( lack of some tools). Thanks for sharing.
Loved this video! Thank you, I was looking for some ideas for DIYing structures for the garden and those are both perfect! Will you make a video for DIY vertical structures for tomatoes or beans?
Oh wow! I’m in n ga and lost ALL my blueberries this year to a frost. Second year in a row😭. I’m definitely doing a mini greenhouse for them before fall
Oh noooo! ❤️ Yeah my blueberries are starting to come in right now but I could see using something like this plus a mulch/burlap as a way to keep them warm through the winter! Also is it possible for you to go with a more hardy blueberry variety? My thinking there is that it's a lot colder where I live and mine survived - so maybe this would help?
This a a very cool idea! The video is great for keeping the temperature regulated for colder months. I have a slightly different issue which is heat & direct sunlight. I have recently purchased a bonsai which I would like to grow out into a bigger tree (Basically going from bonsai, to tree and back to bonsai). I want to offer more light to the indoor plant, but the plant does not like direct sunlight. I am from South Africa and we can experience temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius. I've place some shade netting around a structure with a wooden board over the top (this does not look great at all and I would like to build a proper enclosure for it). What would you suggest I do?
Wow! That sounds like a fun experiment! I'm not as familiar with the needs of bonsai trees but it sounds like you are on the right track with some protective steps. Finding a lower light area of the house or corners of houses can be helpful for indirect light. Good luck!
Love the idea but am concerned about wind and also the rain. You did something there but not sure how it would avoid the rain not weighing through? Thanks!
Oh dang just looked it up (at first I thought it was going to be a power tool for the greenhouse 🤣). I sure do - you getting me a christmas present?! :P Yeah - I love using them on peppers. I literally keep it on the peppers the entire season!
I have perennials that I've not planted yet in Colorado. Can I just cover a shelf unit w the poly and stick in garage for winter? Maybe throw a space heater in there if it gets crazy cold?
Hi..may i check what type of plastic sheets which is cheap n durable for the green house would u recommend n where to get it from? Thx Ps...your DIY GREENHOUSE is wonderful!
Thanks for this video Jordan. I may have a silly question about the wooden structure, so humour me if I missed that part in the video. I know the length of the pieces to be cut, but what is the width of each piece? Or in other words, what size piece of lumber should I get and ask to be cut to those specifications?
That's a great question, Kathleen!! And indeed something I didn't touch on in the video! I went with 2"x2". You could do 2"x4" but I find that gets a bit heavy. With the 2"x2" it's nice and light and easy to move around, but also strong enough to not be blown over by the wind (knock on wood!)
I bought and installed a 6mil plastic over the greenhouse I built. The plastic is opaque and not really clear. With your experience, is this the wrong kind of plastic for my greenhouse?
i am looking to build one about that size, but not so high, just the wood i have, since i am not near it every day to open it up, would it be a good idea to add vents slots near the bottom to let air in? i dont have any bug problems, just want to extend the season,thanks
Thank you for making this, new Gardner. I eat raw veg and they're expensive, adding this video for later. Any tips on when I should start Germ seeds in a michigan weather climate? What month should I bring them outside to transplant, any videos for that?
In case you have limited space at home free tip: buy a clear plastic tote bin and use it as a green house. This build is perfect but I wanted to share some insights during my apartment balcony days ❤.

Oh cool! I'll have to try that!!
@@MindandSoil How did that work out?

u mean bubble wrap
@@tracycline9109have you got a heap of bubble wrap.. stick it on/tuck it in around inside.. wrap the place up ✌🏽
0:52 THANK YOU❤
I made this with my dad and it came out nice and it looks cool , thanks !! 🤙🏽
That's great to hear ! Thanks for watching :)
Ha! That’s fantastic. I’m absolutely sacrificing one of my blanket totes and going to use this right now. Great video!
This is the best way to keep warm in winter 🥶 thank you for your sharing ❤❤❤!!
Glad it was helpful :) Thanks for watching!

Looks beautiful well done 👍
Love the simplicity! Both are great options! Thanks for or the tips 😊
Thrilled to hear it!
WHUTTT? Brilliant second option. Just my style. Thank you!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching :)
Luved ur idea. Thank s for sharing
Awesome build thank you
Thankyou for this video God bless you
Thank you! Loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Stumbled on to your channel accidentally while searching for simple greenhouse designs. Loved it and will stay connected !
This is so awesome to hear! Thank you for watching :)
Excellent! Thank you! 🌱 😊
Our pleasure!
Me encanto❤
Superb video ! George U.K.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Tyvm very helpful 👍😊
my pleasure!
nice video angle and POV, we are able to really see and do it at the same time. Thanks
Hey! Thanks for the feedback , really appreciated :) So glad it was helpful and thank you for watching!
Loved this video! Thank you, I was looking for some ideas for DIYing structures for the garden and those are both perfect! Will you make a video for DIY vertical structures for tomatoes or beans?
Thrilled to hear this Erica! And yes, I will be doing a bunch of trellis structures over the coming months!

How do you keep mold out during long rain periods during which the greenhouse is closed? Does it not lack ventilation? Looks really cool!
looks nice
Thanks for watching :)
@@MindandSoil your welcome
I love it. Does it protect from aphids and snails? How long should I open the door

Love the idea but am concerned about wind and also the rain. You did something there but not sure how it would avoid the rain not weighing through? Thanks!
You need a burr grinder man, also, I use old water jugs for mini green houses. Works great on tomatoes and peppers
Oh dang just looked it up (at first I thought it was going to be a power tool for the greenhouse 🤣). I sure do - you getting me a christmas present?! :P

Hi..may i check what type of plastic sheets which is cheap n durable for the green house would u recommend n where to get it from? Thx
Ps...your DIY GREENHOUSE is wonderful!
And in the first option do we need a special plastic sheet?
I’m wondering how this holds up in the wind. Does it need to be anchored in windy areas and will the plastic rip off the staple?
I was thinking about something like this, but how do you handle storms or high winds?
Does it have to be poly plastic, or can it be industrial plastic wrap? i get a bunch free from work,that would probably be cheaper but wouldn't work.
Cool ! Thx
Hello, which plants can I grow in the second option? The plastic box greenhouse
Does the plastic's transparency influence the temperature?
How warm does it stay in there ??
Thanks for this video Jordan. I may have a silly question about the wooden structure, so humour me if I missed that part in the video.

@@MindandSoil Thanks Jordan. This box is going to be a project for this weekend.
@@kathleenunfreed775 Love that! email me a picture afterwards!
Can you cover the whole bed or is that a not good idea
I bought and installed a 6mil plastic over the greenhouse I built. The plastic is opaque and not really clear. With your experience, is this the wrong kind of plastic for my greenhouse?
Hey what was the cost of the supplies
i am looking to build one about that size, but not so high, just the wood i have, since i am not near it every day to open it up, would it be a good idea to add vents slots near the bottom to let air in? i dont have any bug problems, just want to extend the season,thanks
I don't have any vents on the bottom and it has been working beautifully! But, you could give it a try if you'd like
@@MindandSoil another question, if i double a 3 mil plastic, is it the same protection as quantity one of 6 mil?
Great tutorial! But how do we fix it to a garden bed to stop it being blown away in windy areas?
I'd second this question! Great video, but it looks like it would be blown away by the wind?
Place a brick on top of it
When Do you set a plant in a greenhouse
Thank you for making this, new Gardner. I eat raw veg and they're expensive, adding this video for later.
Any tips on when I should start Germ seeds in a michigan weather climate? What month should I bring them outside to transplant, any videos for that?
First option is a bit expensive (56 feet total in wood, at $30 per 12 feet = $150). Second option is landfill, which makes me sad :(
How about windy days?
Brick on top
The music is too loud.
In case you have limited space at home free tip: buy a clear plastic tote bin and use it as a green house.
This build is perfect but I wanted to share some insights during my apartment balcony days ❤.
Sorry, dont do celsius.
