BUILDING A HOME FOR YOUR FINE, FLOWERED FRIENDS THE GARDEN GREEN HOUSE

Imagine eating a fresh, juicy, delicious tomato in the middle of winter. Sitting in a chair in your shorts basking in 78 degrees while it blizzards outside and you taste a bit of summer in January. A home garden green house will give you exactly that. A small home garden green house is inexpensive and easy to manage, but for that all out, summer all year long, nothing beats a great big home garden green house that brings the outdoors inside.





Building a Small Home Garden Green House
You can build a small home garden green house in even the tiniest back yard. There are inexpensive kits for just about any size green house you can imagine. And you’re not limited to someone else’s imagination. You can design your own small home garden green house, too.

When you work up your design, keep in mind where you plan to put your home garden green house and what kind of exposure it will have to the sun and other elements. Remember, exposure to the sun varies with the season. If your home garden green house can get good winter exposure and less summer exposure, you'll be in great shape.

Think about how you will manage to keep your home garden green house warm in the winter. There are many ways to conserve heat: using raised beds or growing things in beds that are off of the ground, insulating the floor and as much of the walls and ceiling as possible, banking dirt up against the green house, planting evergreens up next to it. There are a few ways to heat your home garden green house and they are similar to the ways you heat anything else in the winter. With a home garden green house, your goal is to keep it warm enough to grow things without breaking the bank.

Think about light for your home garden green house. You will, of course, use sunlight to heat it and to grow your plants, but remember, the sun is in a different place in the sky in the winter than it in summer, so position your home garden green house with winter sun in mind. Because winter days are shorter, you may need some supplemental light to keep things growing all year round in your home garden green house.





A Home Garden Green House That's Something Special
If you're willing to spend some money, you can have a home garden green house that's something special. You can have a green house spa in the middle of your green house; talk about having summer all year round! The water helps maintain a steady temperature in the green house, and the solar heating makes it cost a lot less than an indoor pool. Plus you have a green house, with fresh veggies, all year round. Now what could be better than that?
