PVC Greenhouse Video

You may wonder why I have a pvc greenhouse and is it beneficial. I'm here to tell you that having fresh vegetables year around is very empowering. And, when the weather is not cooperative, I can always go inside my "hoop house" and play in the soil.

Also, the cost of constructing a pvc greenhouse is very little compared to commerical size greenhouses. I grow more than enough vegetables for my family and am giving produce away even during the fall and early spring months.

The basic construction is cedar and pine lumber, PVC pipe (different diameters needed), 6 ml plastic and a shade cloth.

Detailed instructions are given in "hoop house plans" ebook below.

With my new greenhouse, I now grow fresh vegetables up through December. Actually, it's February 2,2010 and I just picked fresh lettuce, spinach and radishes for a salad.!

And we have eight inches of snow outside!

It is a lot of work, but it is truly rewarding to collect fresh tomatoes in the Winter months.

It is also nice to have someone helping you put up the hoops because they are long and a little difficult in handling by yourself.

It is always easier to have one person holding the material and the other to drill or hammer.

The most costly part of hoop house is the shade cloth. But, it is necessary during the hot summer days.

I usually take my shade cloth off around Labor day.

Now it's your turn to start your own greenhouse and grow those veggies.

I believe we live in a time of food revolution and we are tired of buying products of mass production and herbicide covered.

And, it really doesn't matter if you live in the country or city. You can construct this hoop house right in your backyard.

It can also be a family activity involving your children which gives great educational value and exercise. Plus, it is so rewarding and your children will that they are doing something of value.
