I wanted to grow an avocado or mango tree. I have a greenhouse but half is concrete flooring and half is bare dirt. I was worried planting the tree in bare dirt part the roots would eventually tear up the concrete. Is there a safeguard to keep this from happening? submitted by /u/Responsible_Ad_8 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi all, I'm wondering if anybody has suggestions for what i can use to cover the peaks of my hoop house so that it doesn't rip the plastic. I am going to be completely replacing the plastic and I obviously don't want it to rip again. The pictures should show exactly what i'm talking about. These were here when we bought the property so i no nothing about these particular design of hoop houses. https://preview.redd.it/0deszs5h78yc1.jpg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e4aa11e7308249751710276fe5dbfba71615d3a https://preview.redd.it/xwex9n5h78yc1.jpg?width=2268&format=pjpg ..read more

I am building my first greenhouse. It's in a well-shaded area, but I plan to remove a few dangerous trees that may damage my neighbor's property. Time-lapse video includes the sun's placement in that area. submitted by /u/Best_Picture8682 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Zone 7; South NJ, USA (near Philly) Excuse the state of our yard. We moved in at the tail end of summer and haven’t done any yard work as we’ve been waiting for spring to see what all we really have back here. Anyways, there use to be a metal gazebo covered in ivy and lights in this spot. We had no use for it, so we tore it down. I’d love to put an 8x6 or so greenhouse here, but I’m worried it might be too shady? The oaks haven’t fully bloomed yet, but you can see where they are. There’s really no other place on our property to put it that would get better sun… what are y’all’s thoughts ..read more

I was recently at a farm that had a greenhouse which I'd like to replicate, but not sure where to start. It had "ribs" made of metal pipe (which seemed to be shaped specifically for this purpose) and it was covered in plastic sheeting. They were actually using it as a sort of weather covering for some barn animals and hay, but it seemed good for a greenhouse. This was in MA. Any keywords I can use to research this kind of design, and how well does it work as a year-round greenhouse in MA? submitted by /u/Old-Magician9787 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
