Micro Mini Greenhouse_Recycling Plastic Bags

You ever buy any comforter sets? They come in those nice clear plastic bags with the zippered top. They make excellent micro mini portable greenhouses for hardening your seedlings.

I had a piece of hard cardboard that I used to make a bottom so that the plants wouldn’t fall over when I moved the little greenhouse. Then I eyeballed an aluminum pan that would hold the cups, so in they went. And I knew I didn’t want 100 percent of the sun’s rays beaming down on these babies that have hardly ever left home, so I wrapped the aluminum pan in another plastic bag for insulation. And because I didn’t want the plastic to collapse on top of the seedlings I happened to glance over and saw the homemade plant markers. I grabbed a few of them and stuck them in the four corner pots and a couple in the middle.

Viola…micro mini portable greenhouse.

Yeah, I know it looks a little ghetto, but it serves a purpose. It’s easy to pick up and move around the yard. You can unzip it to let in a little air when it’s warm.

On second thought, it looks a lot ghetto, but it still serves a purpose. It’s eco-friendly (recycle and repurpose) and the price is right. Economical savviness at work again.

You could get real fancy and put some permanent supports in the corners. I didn’t have the time or the energy to make it pretty. I’ll save that for another day.

Happy Gardening!!!!
