3po3 on Feb 03, 2012Never built a greenhouse, but I have some Ortho gardening books and they never done me wrong. Here is a greenhouse book from those folks: http://www.amazon.com/All-About-Greenhouses-Orthos-about/dp/0897214633/ref=pd_sim_b_1Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Feb 04, 2012Earl, you'll find tips, as well as plans, from the University of California Extension Service here: http://vric.ucdavis.edu/pdf/greenhouse_plasticgreenhouse.pdf (The title "Small Plastic Greenhouses" on the cover is something of a misnomer. The article is actually quite comprehensive.)Helpful Reply

3po3 on Feb 04, 2012Sounds like what you need is maybe a cold frame, not an actual greenhouse. Here is a good tutorial on making one of those - http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/improvement/outdoor-buildings/4345342 Definitely portable. Also, some people use discarded windows or glass doors for the lids of these frames. Might be worth considering as a cheap, eco-friendly alternative.Helpful Reply
