Portable Greenhouse Kits

A lot of gardeners don't realize they have the option of setting up a portable greenhouse in their home or yard. A portable greenhouse can be as small or as large as you need it to be and many come packaged in easy-to-assemble kits. If you'd like to extend your growing season into early spring or late fall these greenhouses easily allow you to do just that. Another perk is that because the structure isn't permanent you can move it wherever you need it to be. If one area of your yard receives more sunlight or if you need certain plants to receive more shade you can move them anywhere and still keep them in an optimum environment.

You can also purchase mini-greenhouses that fit in just about any corner of your house. A lot of gardeners like to use these greenhouse to keep plants indoors during harsh winter months. They are also very handy for starting young seeds. If you'd like to get started in gardening but don't want to get too carried away a portable greenhouse would be the perfect way to get your feet wet. Simply plant a few vegetables or flowers that you keep in your home and you don't have to spend lots of money on a permanent building. If you decide that gardening isn't the hobby for you or you don't have a green thumb you haven't wasted too much money.

A small portable greenhouse also fits nicely on a small apartment deck or patio and is perfect for those that enjoy gardening but don't have a lot of extra yard space. Most of these greenhouses come in kits that need to be assembled but are usually very easy to put together. Some are more structurally sound than others and if you plan on keeping your greenhouse outdoors during bad weather you may want to find a way to hold it down so it doesn't topple over or blow away during a storm. Some gardeners recommend tying the greenhouse down with additional stakes and ropes or adding weight to the floor with something like a black solar bag filled with sand or water.
