my recycled greehouse
my recycled greehouse
Well it's virtually finished now so here is the first photo of my recycled greenhouse. It is around 4m x 3.4m and made from totally recycled materials with the exception of the concrete for the foundations and the sand and cement for the brickwork. I also had to buy some silicone to put the glass in and some stain to make it look decent.
In total it has cost me around £70, 2 large boxes of fruit and veg,12 plants of sweetcorn, 12 votive candles a lot of serious pain and about 2 years.
The staging was from my candlemaking bussiness that ended in 2006 and has been in the garage since because it "will come in handy one day" In total it has cost me around £70, 2 large boxes of fruit and veg,12 plants of sweetcorn, 12 votive candles a lot of serious pain and about 2 years.

Re: my recycled greehouse
well done, more people should do the same instead of buying plastic non fantastics

Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."
