Grnhouse Plus4Zones greenhouse, a Sun Terrace and other unheated greenhouses

[Vicki]

I thought this Montreal Canada gardener did a pretty amazing job trying to perfect growing fruit trees in his zone. He walks us through the various greenhouses and structures he built over the years until he came up with the greatest success. That being dirt floor or even below ground with wood frame and plastic roof. Plastic off in summer. The planting terraces he built on the outside of his mini greenhouse was amazing and I grabbed a couple of screenshots from the video. He's converted a couple of barns into growing fruit trees and vegetables and built a sun room for plants on his home that is to be truly envied. Interesting video.

The construction of an unheated greenhouse that enhances the local climate zone by 4 zones, of a sun terrace with grapevines, and of other unheated greenhouses…

This video is a bit long and speeding it up would make it easier to see the build and finish product but I enjoyed the lady so I watched the full 41:48 minutes. It could be wanting spring to come soon and thinking about putting up another greenhouse made from cattle panels so this video was inspiring. This greenhouse is 10 by 32 feet.

Our 10 x 32 cattle panel greenhouse is finally done. It was simple to build and I'm very happy with it. A cattle panel greenhouse can be as long as you want it to be. However I would suggest keeping the width between 7 - 10ft. Cost wise, this was a great option for us. We saved at least $1K by doing it ourselves. I absolutely Love It ! Hopefully you will find this helpful! Peace & Blessings

Adding worm composting bins inside helps a lot for generating heat.

I'm going to try to built a lean-to greenhouse on the back of our house. It would give me a better space for starting seedlings, and it would also help keep the house warmer in the winter. And because we have black locust trees shading the back yard, it's less likely to overheat in the summer.
