Frugal Gardening

Free Greenhouse!!

18 years ago

A woman on my freecycle network was giving away 40 45 x 25 old fashioned wood pane windows, which I happily took off of her hands...I'm going to try to nail them together (with wood and other supporting materials) to make a small greenhouse!! Woo woo!! I posted on the greenhouse forum to see if this is "possible" but I really don't see why it wouldn't work. I love freecycle!!!

Oh yes, it's definitely possible! Someone on GW has one. If I can remember who it is, I'll get her to send you a picture and tell you how she did it.

It's about 12x16 and the tunnel kind. It has vents and fans that come on when it gets too hot. It has a timer I can hook hoses up to. It's about 9 years old. I have pictures of it, but it was still on her property when I took them so I won't post them. I WILL take some this weekend, we got it up on Sunday. :) :) :)
