Temp Controlled Outdoor
Indoor/Outdoor Greenhouse?
We live in Michigan and we are tired of buying vegetables from the grocery store or market. Every summer we have a nice size garden but we really want one now, in the winter. I can't put up a small hobby greenhouse outside can I, without temp control and some sort of bed for the plants to grow? Duh, I know about the dirt, but it would need some sort of temp control inside and grow lights I'm guessing as well, right? Even if I wanted to do it inside, same thing right? This isn't for pot or marijuana either, I'm talking about tomatoes, peppers, and such.. I don't want an areogarden either, I want a nice size greenhouse, but I'm thinking it can't be done.
You might be able to do it. You would have to site it properly and make sure it's all glass or plexiglass on the south and west sides. You can get heat in the greenhouse with a couple of 55 gallon drums painted black and many 1 gallon jugs painted black also and filled with water. You would place the drums in the south and west facing windows so they can absorb the sun's energy. They will get warm and this warmth is dispersed through the night. The gallon jugs will get cold faster, but the 55 gallon drums should keep the greenhouse around 40F through the night. You can also get some rabbits in your greenhouse. The heat they generate is enough to keep a greenhouse warm.
