A Hobby Greenhouse Will Get You Growing!
For people who would like to do more gardening but live in a
short growing season area, a hobby greenhouse is the answer. A
hobby greenhouse is not large enough to produce vegetables or
flowers on a commercial basis. It will, however, give you a
place for a tomato plant or two and some fresh greens even if
you live in the northern regions. Greenhouse enthusiasts even
have their own association, called the Hobby Greenhouse
Association, which publishes a quarterly magazine. The
organization also sponsers events and helps individuals connect
to get help with the aspect of gardening that they are
interested in, whether it's growing cacti or saving seeds.
If you are in the market for a hobby greenhouse, there are
several types on the market. The smallest type is not large
enough to walk into and must be accessed from the outside. It
resembles an old-fashioned phone booth made all of glass and
outfitted with shelves. This type is designed to fit as many
plants as possible in as small a place as possible. The shelves
are made of glass to allow as much light as possible to reach
plants on the lower shelves. Another inexpensive version of this
sort of hobby greenhouse is shelving covered with a zippered
tent of clear plastic. This sort of arrangement is great for the
small-scale hobby gardener wanting a place to keep her flowers
or houseplant starts.
There are a variety of designs of hobby greenhouse that are
large enough to walk into but made entirely of clear glass or
plastic. They are often about the same size as a small storage
building. Some independent builders have started
making these to
sell locally. Among national brands, one of the nicest is called
the "Solar Prism." It is called this because of it's unique
construction. This hobby greenhouse is made of a single piece of
durable clear plastic which is designed to work like tiny prisms
side by side. They trap the rays of the sun and shoot them back
into the greenhouse at all angles. For this reason, these little
greenhouses are said to glow when the weather is cloudy.
Better hobby greenhouses are equipped with automatic sensors
that open vents which allow ventilation and keep the interior
temperatures from getting too high. These are a great labor
saver, but can get expensive. Another benefit sometimes found in
nicer greenhouses is a built in irrigation or misting system.
Members of the Hobby Greenhouse Association, or HGA, have
invented many interesting designs of greenhouses.
If gardening is your hobby, greenhouse growing will interest
you. With a greenhouse, you can have the earliest tomatoes and
salad greens all year. You can also start seedlings for the main
garden early in the spring when outdoor temperatures would kill
them. A hobby greenhouse can be a good investment.
