Any recommendations for a supercheap plastic greenhouse?

Not sure if I want one against the wall or more of a cloche (sp?)

What is best - we are full on (well about 25 plants) food production Grin

Before we had a greenhouse we got on well with the plastic covered sort from Wilco’s. They’re very lightweight so anchoring them down helps. Very cheap, the covers can be replaced. The next option would be a wooden frame version, they’re about £70., again mail order.

I had a wooden frame growhouse for a few years but tbh it didn't weather particularly well and fell apart quite quickly. Now I use a plastic growhouse - - I think mine might be from Crocus - - that is onto its third year and perfectly happy. Mine sits on a west facing wall and I use it for all my seedlings for home and allotment (so it's quite busy!) and then for tomatoes once stuff is planted out.

Obviously I'd love a proper greenhouse but with little space this does fine. Although I am thinking about a polytunnel for the allotment....

I got about 20 pots germinated on the parcel shelf of my car, parked in full sun. It's not like it's going anywhere much. Seedlings had the occasional jaunt into tesco car park.

Love it @TheLurkingOne !!

It's my birthday and I fancied this but apparently you have to buy a frame as well as the cover and the raised bed!!

So maybe not! Aldi looking very attractive!

That grow house looks just right KatyMac.
As I mentioned before, if you’re in a windy spot actor it down.

Love it Lurkingone
