Homemade mini-greenhouse

What’s the perfect remedy to winter? Tomato/cucumber salad, with basil and a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. It’s even better when you grow your own herbs. With this homemade greenhouse, you can have your own mini-garden year-round.

    Thanks for the post, I can see this being very useful for growing herbs, Nothing better then fresh herbs over the dried ones.

    OK i am doing something a bit smaller for my seedlings i took 2 clear plastic cups put rocks an inch deep then soil on top in one cup and planted and they sprouted now i attached second clear cup to that one to make a green house type enviroment. Now my problem is I live in an apartment and there are sofets blocking all sun from coming in the windows for more than say an hour. Would a normal light bulb work to keep it heated? I have tried a flourescent white plant and aqaurium light from my lizard i used to have but it made them way to tall and they fall over and die. It was good for starting them but i dont have money for all those fancy lights and lighting systems. Any suggestion on wether a normal 60 watt bulb would actually be enough or what?????

    Imagine a circumstance where I have something more urgent in my real life than approving comments on this blog. I got one of those circumstances now.

    As for your question, maybe you should try contacting the guy who build the thing: http://www.instructables.com/id/Very-small-GreenHouse/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss
