Bought a "green house" today - roger_smith - 01-19-2015
Get your head outta the gutter, not that kind of green house!
Howdy,
So I have about an acre of land and I've decided I'd like to offset a majority of my grocery shopping with it. I was burning some time today walking around the feed store and I came upon what they're calling a "green house", which it is, but it's just a 4 shelf unit.
Anyway, I picked it up because it's good for starting seeds and it was only 20 bucks.
It looks like this

The picture makes it look larger than it really is, but I think it'll work for my needs.
Any gardeners around here?

You can build your own bigger one very cheap all you need honestly is some wood staked into the grown nicely and some clear plastic sheeting, A lazy man version can cost probably $80 for probably a 10 ft by 10 ft

I certainly like this idea and as my plans expand I'll probably find a place to set something like this up. Thx for the idea

SurvivalHT on youtube did a greenhouse but they did there's a bit on the pricey side and designed it better but if you go for absolute basic and are not trying to get it perfect then you can get it very cheap.

He is growing food by the looks of it because he wants to cut down on his grocery bill. And its actually a pretty smart idea.

So far, the list looks something like this:
Pumpkins
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Jalapenos
Green Peppers
Onions
Garlic
Basil
Apples
I'll need to tweak it i'm sure, add some, remove some, but that's ho it stands in this moment in time.

Sounds cool! Did you use a kit, or did you do it from scratch?

You should send me some Jalapenos to feed my addiction.
