Introduction: DIY Recycled Mini Greenhouse
This is a great way to grow your plants and veggies at home and it's fun for kids to do to.
I wanted to recycle and repurpose materials so I used what I had at home and you can do the same so it's a totally low budget project.
Watch the video for a step by step procedure.
Supplies
Materials you'll need:
- a plastic box
- wire
- straws - bad for the environment, but good for this project (repurpose)
- rope or shoe laces
- anti insects net or some other fabric that absorbs sunlight but doesn't have the negative effects that plastic has
- cardboard box
- soil and seeds
Step 1: Procedure
Procedure:
Drill holes on the sides of the plastic box, put the wires through the holes - this is the basic construction.
Drill a few holes on the bottom of the box for the excess water that will come out during watering.
Make a construction with the wires and straws.
Put the sun-absorbing fabric on your construction. Tighten it to the box using rope but only on one side, on the other side, make a little door - see what I mean in the video.
Put the soil in the box and plant the seeds.
Put your mini greenhouse on a cardboard box so it absorbs excess water.
Hope you enjoy and have fun making it.
