I BOUGHT A LEAN - TO GREENHOUSE FROM THE BURPEE CATALOG. I MANAGED TO GET IT UP IN ONE PIECE AND IT HAS HELD UP WELL THROUGH SEVERAL GOOD STORMS WITH A LOT OF WIND. IT SAID IT WAS A 60 MIN. PROJECT BUT IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS. YOU CAN SEE THE BASE I MADE FOR IT FROM SOME OLD PLYWOOD. IT IS SITTING AGAINST A STUCCO WALL SO I INSULATED THE SEAM BETWEEN THE BACK AND THE WALL USING AN OLD INSULATION BLANKET.
THESE METAL SHELVES WORK WELL WITH GOOD DRAINAGE.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE PLANTS I HAVE GROWN . THE BASKETS ARE FROM THE 99 CENT STORE AND ARE VERY FUNCTIONAL.
THE ROLLERS ON THE DOOR WERE REALL TIGHT SO I TOOK THE BOTTOM SET OFF AND USE BIG PAPER CLIPS TO HOLD IT SHUT. I HAVE STARTED TOMATOES, EGGPLANT, SQUASH, LETTUCE, KALE, MUSTARD, COLLARD GREENS, SWISS CHARD, MARIGOLDS, AND BASIL. YOU CAN IMAGINE IT IS HARD TO WORK THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. NOTICE THAT I HAVE STAGGERED THE SHELVES FROM ON SIDE TO THE OTHER. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW PROBLEMS TO WORK OUT BUT OVERALL I AM SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS.
