Is the plastic tight on the frame? You used one continuous sheet from the bottom over the top? Does the tubing flex a lot?
It's a Greenhouse!

It's kind of tight, but is still pretty loose. Yes it was one sheet of plastic. More than i thought it would but not unless you bend it yourself.masscactus wrote:Very nice, looks great and great work! I looked at/considered this design but couldn't really envision how it would all work out. Now I see.

Grass is out.
Gravels down.
A nice rock border around the sides so the gravel doesn't get out.
Tables built
Plants go in.
yes, i know. I accidentally left the one in the middle in the shade.
The buckets that will be filled with soil ingredients fit nicely under the tables.
Just got to put a few more plants in there and,
Its done! YAY!!!

C'mon guys!
John, you have almost the same substrate in your g/h that I do, and yes you will get grass and other weeds growing....but it takes about five minutes every two weeks to remove them...better than adding more poisonous chemicals?

Only because it is an invasive noxious species that is high maintenance, often requiring fertilizer and regular cutting, thereby wasting fossil fuels and contributing to both air and water pollutionmasscactus wrote:WOW Grass gets absolutely no love at CactiGuide.com! So funny!

BTW, I didn't mean any disrespect to Darryl or Buck...they are dealing with things on a completely different scale, and have commercial considerations. But for a small greenhouse, it's just my opinion that these things can be handled manually.
