graibeard's Greenhouse garden

Garden Type: Greenhouse | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: None I'm Organic!

Always wanted one and this was on special at Bunnings. Made in China and no chance to see the completed item, but the price seemed okay. Hmmm, took the chance and bought it and it’s been well worth it. Not essential but nice to have.

This is used primarily for propagation with the successful seedlings being transplanted out into the main gardens.

    I LOVE your greenhouse. Want one just like it, but have never seen one in a hardware store around here. Have seen some online, burt they seem to be either horrendously expensive or flimsy as buggery.

    If it hadn’t been at a knock down price I wouldn’t have got it – it was still expensive at the $490 price tag but we were on holidays at the time and staying at home (gardening – best way to spend a holiday :) – so we justified it as the trip away we weren’t having. I haven’t seen them again there. Gardenworld was where I next saw them and found out what the usual asking price was – needless to say I should have got them both and it would have still been cheaper than a new one , the W-606 model as near as I can make it.
    It’s been terrific to have. Less excuses now for not seed starting and general propagation. We don’t have to juggle space or move seedlings to or from window sills etc. There’s minimal bending, everything is at a good height and because it’s purpose built, it’s pretty much always available – ie:- hasn’t been borrowed, moved or utilized for other purposes.
    Having used it for a while now I’d do it again, and pay more for the privilege too (He’s m,m,mad I tell you)
