How to make a greenhouse step by step

FOR HOME GROWN VEG

If you've ever dreamed of living independently and owning the food you eat, a home greenhouse can be a big step toward that goal. Having your own vegetables , homegrown, is without a doubt the best way to control what you eat , to know that the food in your house is the natural thing that you want it to be.

And thinking that you can make your own greenhouse to grow your own food by investing only small sum of money makes it incredible! But for this you will have to recycle and reuse many of the materials to be used. If this option does not convince you, we propose another that is to  build a greenhouse with wooden structure .

Here you will discover how to make a greenhouse in a simple way.

The design that we propose is offered to us free of charge by this website , where you can find complete instructions to make a greenhouse step by step of about 15 square meters, but that can be adapted to make it larger depending on the space that your garden allows.

The main materials to build your own greenhouse will be pallet wood, you will have to start saving pallets with time, bamboo canes, nails and greenhouse plastic.

How to make a Home Greenhouse

You will have to start cleaning the area where you are going to install it. We will make a ditch along the entire contour of the terrain that we have chosen. It should be about 40 cm since it should hold a pallet vertically. We must join pallet with pallet to give robustness to the structure. We can use appropriate pallet boards and nails. Once the pallet structure is obtained, the idea is to have a "beam" of central wood where the reeds that we will extract from the sides will pass. After that, all that remains is to place the plastic and secure the assembly.

Advantages of greenhouses.

• Intensifies the production : they establish good conditions for the development of our plants, by the isolation of the exterior.
• Increases the yield : it increases of 2 to 3 times in comparison with the open field, in hydroponic cultures they can become 10 times.
• Less problems : protecting crops minimizes climate damage.
• Water saving : drip irrigation is normally used in greenhouses, which is a great saving in irrigation.
• Better control of pests and diseases : its hermeticity is key to good control of pests and diseases.
• We can grow all year round : Climate control inside the greenhouse allows us to grow all year round without problems.
