  I just pulled tight and used sikaflex after pulling tight and weighing down plastic. But I like the idea of plinths you've placed around base.

  You need to anchor the wooden base. Otherwise, it makes no difference. How can you remove the greenhouse after the winter? It's the best way to extend the life before UV kills it.

  The idea of ​​making compost in a cheap and easy way seems great to me, but you shouldn't throw plastic scraps on the ground when making holes because no one knows where they will end up. Greetings. La idea de hacer abono de forma fácil y barata me parece genial, pero no deberías tirar los restos de plástico al suelo al hacer los agujeros porque nadie sabe dónde acabarán.

  I purchased one a few years ago. If you plan on keeping it up all year and live in an area that is windy or stormy a lot make sure you anchor it. I used earth anchors and ratchet straps on mine. The weak points I noticed were on the corners where it rubs on the frame so keeping it tight is a great idea. I found that the strings and velcro on the windows wear out after one season. The zipper on the doors start to get hung up and eventually get stuck and will not move. I used this greenhouse to protect my citrus and frost intolerant trees in the winter and in late winter and early spring I start planting starts for the garden.

  Hey, just remember the heat from the compost could possibly leach harmful chemicals into the compost from the plastic, the same goes for microwaving any food in a plastic container and I know you might say this is dirt that it’s not gonna be eaten but think about the plants that you are going to eat if your planting vegetables they’re going to absorb those chemicals. Just wanted to put that out there in case someone wasn’t aware of it.

  @user-fu9vj9ix3g3 ай бұрын

  The same can be said of the plastic pipes that supply water to your home, or the hose you water your plants with that sits in the sun all year long and breaks down. OIr that black plastic sheeting over the soil. When I was a cyclist, I rode in a club full of people who were constantly complaining of car exhaust. When I pointed out that there is no way to avoid it, except by wearing a full-on gas mask, it went over like a fart in church. The point is, there are lots of things in life that work against us. Eventually, we die from something called Death. No way out. I wouldn't worry about some leaching, and at extreme low temps, it;s not gonna be much. I might say that a plastic bin for this purpose should be replaced if it starts looking bleached-out and chalky. Here in the wet part of the PNW, that's not going to be for a very long time, but in San Diego? More often.

It's very rigid after adding the framing and making sure the plastic was tight. Of course, more support will make it stronger and more rigid.
