Herbs in a mini-greenhouse

3 replies

IntermittentParps · 10/01/2020 13:31

I want to grow my own herbs outdoors, but delicates like coriander and basil die or get eaten by slugs. I'd love a mini greenhouse and saw this pic online (scroll down, or search for 'The kit provides you with...') but there's no info on where it comes from. Has anyone seen anything similar? (I'm in the UK and think this site is American, but here's hoping there's something like it available here!)

TIA.

Not sure which model you are talking about, OP, but the plastic mini greenhouses as shown on the link are not great in my experience. I had a poor experience trying to grow tomatoes in a similar model, it was as though the plastic was blocking the light (they did better when I opened the cover). If budget is an issue what about a cold frame type design?

Thanks Tiddle. No, I don't fancy the plastic ones. The model I mean is pictured just above the words 'The kit above to the right'. It's a wooden frame with a cupboard space at ground level and the glass and plants section at waist height, so you can garden without bending or kneeling. I think I'd prefer that to a cold frame.
