G'day Folks,
Back in August, when it was time to start growing our early spring crops, I needed some extra room. So I asked my OH, Doc if he could build me a little plastic hot house! ...This is what he made ![]() ...go Here for instructions on making it... ...and Here to see it being used. It has worked so well that I've recently had to put shade cloth over the roof so I can keep using it as the weather (here in Australia) warms up!

Cheers Autumn! Hope the hinting worked!
![]() Summer is here and the temperatures seems to rise more everyday. The little plastic hot house was getting way too hot inside. The thermometer I've put inside only registers to 50C so I've no idea just how hot it was getting. Earlier in the season I put a cover of shadecloth over the roof leaving the plastic in place. Now I have removed the front and rear panels of plastic and replaced them with leftover pieces of shadecloth. Already the temps have dropped to a more bearable level with the flow through of air this now allows. I can now continue to use this house as a propagating area as well as continuing to grow boxes of Basil that are enjoying the consistent conditions and the bug free environment. ![]() ![]()

Very nicely made, I think if I tried to make one I'd end up finished trapped inside
