snottiegobble starts with ... The $99 mini greenhouses are back at Bunnings. They have shelves, are easy to erect & now have clear plastic covering. I have had the original for over 2 years & would say well worth the money, but dont depend on the Zip door. ( it wont last) I have moved my greenhouse once without any probs, but suggest that you use plenty of large tent pegs to hold it down & even concrete edgers along the prevailing wind side. The plastic on mine is the laminated green mesh type & is deterioting fast, so maybe the new clear stuff is similiar to the polyhouse quality I had in Vic. that lasted for 6 years easy! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 18th May 2011 11:44pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... Yes I am hoping the new covering is the same quality used for plastic igloos. My 3 tiered igloo in Vic. was still going strong with minimum damage( caused by me) after 7 years. I havent bought a mini yet so dont know. I might be cheeky next time in Bunnies & make a grand entrance into one of the packs! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smackin the middle) 26th May 2011 11:46am #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... Sorry to hear that grub. Maybe you sprayed something near that corner. Even my 3 tiered igloo in Vic had the occasional obvious discolouration & ( melt away) spots due to something I had done. Although growing organic I was not adverse to personal fly spray & I have a feeling it may be the culprit. Bunnies also stock GRUNT builders clear plastic in 2 m widths to any length so I am just going to reinforce my greenhouse using those STANLEY black graphite spring clamps to hold everything in place.

amanda says... Be careful with those mini greenhouses...that plastic is not UV stable and falls to bits after a certain amount of sun exposure (as mine did) :-( Would they be sturdy enough without the shelves? They don't stand up to rough weather all that well as it is..? You might need to make your own one IIijas? | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth 3rd April 2012 9:21am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |
