this growing area will need about 10 to 20 gallons of water daily during the main
growing season. The water savings in 1 month (compared with direct sowing of seeds
in the growing area) is about 285 to 585 gallons of water!Mini-Greenhouses
A mini-greenhouse made from plastic sheeting and
wood^6 can increase the temperature of the soil and the
air surrounding plants and allow you to get an early start
on the growing season in the spring and to lengthen the
growing season in the autumn. Our design has double-
walled construction, which can keep the inside
temperature above the freezing point when the outside
temperature falls as low as 20°F. This makes the unit a
good season-extender for crops.
