Key insights about video Organic Gardening - Building a Miniature Green House

🌱 Building a small greenhouse is inexpensive and easy with just a 1/2 inch diameter white PVC pipe and some bending and inserting in the ground.

🌱 The deeper you can insert the pipe, the sturdier your greenhouse will be.

🌱 This mini greenhouse can be used to protect vegetables from frost and cold temperatures or to start seedlings in trays.

🌱 To secure the greenhouse, use plastic drop cloth and roll extra pieces of pipe in the plastic, then pin them down with garden staples.

🌱 Leaving one end of the greenhouse open on the south end creates a microclimate and prevents overheating during the day.

🌱 In bad cold weather, you can seal off both ends of the greenhouse to protect your plants from a hard freeze.

🌱 Building a mini greenhouse doesn't cost much but can be an effective way to extend your growing season.
