Other Possibilities
We have made a second mini-greenhouse, but instead of
enclosing it with plastic, we have used birdnetting as the
covering of the panels. Shadenetting, which screens out
much more light than birdnetting or pestnetting, can
then be placed on top of the birdnetting in order to
control the amount of sunlight that the bed receives.
(Shadenetting could be cut large enough to allow a 1- to
1½-inch hem to be sewn around the edges to prevent it
from unraveling. It can then simply be attached with
machine screws and washers.)
Extra panels can be made so that plastic and netting
panels can be combined in the same greenhouse to meet
specific weather or horticultural requirements.
Another possibility would be the routing out of the 2 x
2 frames and making removable panels instead of
needing two separate structures.
Let us know your experiences building and growing
with this mini-greenhouse/shadenetting
house/birdnetting house/pestnetting house. Suggestions
for improvements are welcome.
