Grow Your Own Magazine

I am hoping here as its a 'special' birthday for me soon and am 'hoping' my children will give me some money that I can put towards a greenhouse !!!

Its for the allotment so guess it will have to be polycarbonate just in case. Size wise I guess 8 x 6 and price wise around £300 if thats at all possible, I have never owned or know anyone that has a green house so dont really know what to look for. Just had a quick google but the ones I saw started at £500 for a small one but know there are cheaper ones but not sure what they are like. I would like a more expensive one obviuosly but as its at the alottment and with possible vandals its not worth me buying a premium one so advice on the cheaper end please and any brands to have/not have would be appreciated. Also would they be delivered to the allotment or home? if home I then have to find a way to get it to the site?

As it's for your allotment have you considered LOOT free ads paper?

I got a greenhouse for my lottie, 10x8 high apex. It's a bit rough but very honest (not unlike me). It cost me £50

I honestly couldn't justify spending serious money on one because we do get the odd brick thrower visiting our site, but it's been fantastic so far and touch wood no broken panes yet.

thanks you both for the link and the loot suggestion. I didnt know those sort of things came up. I will have a think of what to do!

Glass houses are cheaper than polycarbonate, freecycle and loot are good places to look, as are the little notices at the local chippy!

Consider also what is called a potting shed - a shed with a bulgy-out side, glassed from mid-height to eaves. Gives you somewhere to store a few things.
