Back in mid-March of this year I picked up this little greenhouse kit at Big Lots for $20.00. I wasn't expecting much considering BL's reputation for quality, as well as the low price... But I thought it might be worth the gamble. We do raised bed gardens that total less than 150 square feet, so I didn't need anything large, but I did need somewhere to keep my spring seedlings. My wife was getting tired of them sitting on the dining room table.
As it turns out, this thing is actually quite awesome. It is rather light and needs to be kept out of high winds, but it has stood up to heavy rains, small hail, and many many days of direct sunlight, and still looks brand new.
I'm not sure if BL is still stocking these, but if I see them again, I plan to buy at least one more, as a backup, or if we expand our gardens. They also offered a larger size with an extra shelf for $30.00.
Thought this might be of interest to anyone looking for a space saver. It would be perfect for an apartment balcony.
This is a pic I took soon after purchase with Garlic, Cherry tomatoes, green peppers, beef steaks, and two blueberry bushes.
