Greenhouse and seed starting.

  I recently decided to buy a small, fairly inexpensive green house. It’s 12’X6.6’X6.6. I believe this will be good enough for a start and not a major investment in something that will be left behind in the event I find a larger property. Need to finish putting it together. The picture is what it should look like when finished.

I figure this will help with ever soaring food costs, I also plan on trying to grow plants to sell. I planted 84 gogi berry seeds, around 100 or so wild strawberry seed and a small mixed herb seed planter.

I set up a small indoor seed starting station as well, it will hold 576 seedlings and will be filled in within the next week or two. I need to get one more of the starter cells to finish filling the shelves.

I’m also making soil blocks for planting in. I’ve found the soil blockers I’m interested in are fairly expensive if your not making money from them. My solution was to 3D print some. If my sales go as hoped I’ll buy some commercially made soil blockers and expand the green house a bit. I like the bigger size, still working out the best soil mixture.

Happy gardening!
