I bought my wife a prefab greenhouse that is six by ten and I want to make a cozy hangout reading area/retreat from the kids. I'm sorry of regretting not getting 8x10 but I know it's possible to optimize sixty square feet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all zone 8b here. Would large heating mats under my pots connected to a thermostat be enough to keep my plants happy in the winter? Anyone have a setup like this?

Hello, everyone. First year with a greenhouse. It's a smaller 6' x 8' kit from Home Depot, plastic panels for windows, etc.

I added an electric heater with a thermostat for the overnight hours, since it was getting down to freezing inside. I also have a thermometer which tracks the temperature. I've noticed the overnight heater cycle runs about 4 minutes - temp drops, heater kicks in, hits the cutoff temp in a minute or so, turns off.

I'd like to stretch that out. Would adding a bucket or two of water for thermal mass work?

Hello, I'd like to ask you to help me with a project. I'm a master's student in entrepreneurship and I need your help to carry out an in-depth study for a group project. Could you help me by giving me some of your time and completing this questionnaire? We'd like to target people with a passion for gardening.

Good day all,

I've got a small Palram Canopia greenhouse here in NC (think we're 8a now). I put it together back in the spring, and perhaps naively thought it would hold heat (at all) at night. So far, the best I can manage is about 5°F above external overnight, with obvious gaps filled with silicon and extra greenhouse plastic on the roof.

The base platform is mostly full of dirt/sand.

It's not critical that it stays warm over winter, as there's nothing that won't come back or be regrown. But I'm curious if there's any good ideas besides adding a heater. The tumbler has active compost and there's a black 5 gallon bucket of water.

If needed, I can add heat in the spring when we do seed starters.

I'm a junior in highschool in Massachusetts and I'm working to get a green house for my school. I was wondering what would be the best plants/vegetables to grow and if we were to buy a quality greenhouse would it be able to survive the winter? And how much sunlight would be needed for the plants. Thank youu

Running a tank top propane burner, 1600ws of lighting, and about 1000w of bench top heat mats.

I may get hate for posting but please understand I'm just concerned as I am new to this.

Closed on a house in NYS earlier this year and recently found out they're building a greenhouse farm right beside our property. I'm regretting buying this house as I've 3 little kids and I fear pesticides drift run to our property and other concerns.

The farm will be done in 2.5-3 years. I initially wanted to sell the house right away when I found out about the farm but I've been suggested to educate myself and get a different perspective.

What are the benefits of living next to a greenhouse farm? What type of questions should I ask the owner to educate myself and know about my surroundings.

We put up the frame during a hotspell and draped it in shade fabric which helped extend summer growth. Now we put its plastic cover on to get through the winter and start seedlings in early early spring. Then the plastic will be removed again for summer.

Does anyone with experience think this plan is feasible? Will it start getting brittle and develop holes? I'm hoping it will last a couple of years.

Recently, I've been trying to find something to shade but also let my Carnivorous plants to photosynthesize in. One of my thoughts are these mini greenhouses cause some of them seems affordable. I did my research on them for hours and found some negatives and positives about it, mainly, it protects your plants from intense sunlight and rain, and that it could potentially cook the plant because of the lack of airflow and accumulated heat. I want to hear your thoughts about it since I think experience is the key for almost everything. I'm not sure if this will help, but the temperature ranges mostly from 35-40°C

Looking for a commercial 1 acre greenhouse in AZ (not a cannabis grower) . Have tried 420propertys.com and Facebook marketplace. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a crested gecko and its light are connected to an analog timer that switches them on/off. Will a misting system connected to the "Inkbird Humidity Controller" work the same way? When the Inkbird reads that the tanks humidity is below a certain level, will it turn on on the misting system?

The house i bought has a sink hole with manhole over it. 55-58f air is coming out of the hole and so I'm trying to think of ways I can use the warmth to my advantage. I'm at least thinking that I could rig some sort of covering or transparent tent to overwinter some plants. Any suggestions for what I could use? I don't even know what all materials I could use for the greenhouse effect. is it even feasible to think I could make some use from the warmth coming from the ground.

Hi all, new member here who has been reading through all your posts as I go about designing my own greenhouse. Short story is, I had a retaining wall left by the previous owner that I'm repurposing to do a custom build for year-round gardening in 7a.

I'm looking at using 8mm polycarbonate twin-walls for the siding and roof. Lowe's and and Home Depot have some options that are pretty pricy and I was looking elsewhere and found roofing4us. Is this a reputable vendor? The pricing for 8mm 4ftx8ft sheets was way lower, but it's so much better of a deal that it feels like a red flag...

Has anyone here used this vendor for greenhouse materials, or do you have recommendations for sourcing panels? Thanks in advance!

So I have been trying to order a greenhouse online and the last two that I purchased from AliExpress just ...never shipped. It's not that huge of a deal I guess, as I get automatically refunded when a seller fails to follow through, but it's just a huge waste of my time and I'm getting frustrated with all these plants in my home, taking up space and slowly dying from lack of sun when they could be thriving outside in a greenhouse.

Are they all some kind of weird scam? I don't understand how they make any profit from this if so. If not, why are they so flaky when everything else I've ordered from AE has actually shown up as advertised?
