Sola Posted August 24, 2010 I have just managed, finally, to get the image to load for a previous post if anyone's interested. Now that I can load photos more easily I'll put a few more up as I have the time. Sola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbil Posted August 24, 2010 very nice fellas, i particularly like the seats colhawk and interbeing, essential for any greenhouse!, takes up room, but just grow vines up it i guess Really nice looking plant interbeing, some sexy seedlings in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santiago Posted August 26, 2010 i have a old hollow steel legged kitchentable i just salvaged from the shed, this thread got me thinking so i simply flipped it upside down and the base is there, roughly 6 foot long, 4 foot wide & 3 foot high upside down, the table top itself forms a simple floor and insulation from the ground. next suppose its just a case of wrapping it in shadecloth or perhaps simple mods like adding chicken wire and pvc tubing or dome tent poles to increase height so its walk in. most of this stuff is easy to find cheap as or free on council collections so a greenhouse albeit simple is acheivable to anybody.

Thanks mate, some are various Tricho hybrids and other bits and pieces, some have started growing in the last couple of weeks witch is nice to see after a long winter.

mescalito Posted September 22, 2010 She's a work in progress,an old bird enclosure north facing. Just used bubble wrap over the chicken wire,then some cheap chicken wire over the top,both from one of the cheap shops,some clouts and staples....done! I've added a plug 'n grow bag for strawberries,beans,companion plants,cherry tomato..and seeding it with mycelia Compact but should be OK I reckon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted September 23, 2010 well executed! that should give you more range with plants and better conditions for others, but doe's that area double up aswell as the spot where you hung your punching bag?? or what is that green thing hanging from the ceeling?

mescalito Posted September 26, 2010 LOL I'm trying to get them into martial arts but they're a little slow of the back foot and you can somehow see them coming I've added a plug 'n grow bag for strawberries,beans,companion plants,cherry tomato..and seeding it with mycelia AKA Topsy Turvey planter or upside down garden. This has sockets and pinch tubes to hold 30 plants...cost $40.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kindness Posted September 29, 2010 nice work bruvva, greenhouse is definately on my list of to do's around here! I like the idea of those hanging planter things, I've got plenty of room here but they could be unreal if you lived in a flat in the city and had some nice north facing windows. I'm assuming that watering them means that the through flow comes out the bottom which could get a bit messy though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mescalito Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks man,yeah top fed but leaches nice and slow...nothing a bucket under wouldn't handle easily tho mine drips into the flood and drain so. Why not make your own mini ones? Similar but one plant in each. Simply cut the arse of a 2 Lt bottle,drill 3 holes,fortify the top(bottom) with cloth tape then get say a tomato seedling wrap wax paper around foliage and feed it through the bottle and out through the neck,remove paper.Attach chain/string to hole inverted and fill with media and hang them everywhere . Voila! Instructables upside down planters Edited September 30, 2010 by mescalito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
