Current project
« Thread Started on 6 Dec, 2007, 2:51 »Hello,

I have been doing various projects since I started growing CPs (strangely enough on the first of January, very easy to count the years) some projects have been big, others, small. I am planning a big project in which I am going to make a lowland indoor greenhouse for neps. I am going to buy an outdoor plastic zip up greenhouse with shelves, maybe a heater, a fan, maybe a humidifier, a light and an irrigation system, then put them all together. How does it sound? If you would like to make a suggestion, please don't hesitate to tell me about it.

Either save up and get a real GH, or build one out of PVC and double wall it w/ plastic so theres an air pocket. Doing that will save you approx half in heating costs, and building your own GH out of pvc/plastic is about as dirt cheap as you can get. Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedNatura non facit saltum
