Hi all

I have been looking into buying a mini greenhouse for next years chilli growing season.. and i came across this:My link

With me been in the UK I would need something like this to extend my growing season.

does anybody know of a similar product I can check out as this one is a bit over priced I think?

Thanks martyn

I know the links wont help you but I used the first one this past season and it worked great. I moved my seedlings out in April and by mid May I would open the zip in the afternoon depending on accumulated heat and close it after supper to keep it warm over night. Eventually I just kept it open all the time to harden off the plants and every plant turned out just fine. It would need to be bigger i I wanted to put my pots in now but I could keep 2 or 3 in there to extend the season for them. The second bigger one would be good for 6 maybe 7 plants.

How much does it cost?

I generally don't find any of these small greenhouses very useful - either the cheap plastic tents or the more expensive, sturdier ones. I can't imagine them being practical for growing anything larger than a bit of lettuce... But, if it's big enough for your needs and if it's cheap, why not.

well you have wind that can damage/destroy the cheap plastic "tents" and rain/snow to deal with...as for cost that's something you need to think about when you price it out and the shipping...but I would recommend something with thick plastic and maybe a heater and growlight...

I think they can with stand the elements from what reviews I've read on amazon,I'm looking into the grow lights also and a reptile heat mat for germination,

They are about 40 pounds and are 2 meters high by 2 meters wide and 80cm deep I think, I couldnt really spend more then 100 pounds

Well, for 40 pounds you can't make that much of a mistake, so if you think it's bif enough for your purposes, it's probably a good choice - but I wouldn't expect too much. And I wouldn't be putting any heating elements/lights anywhere near that plastic, that can't be safe.

Lights are a good idea if you've got space indoors, but I really wouldn't bother with the heat pad unless you're trying to germinate wave upon wave of peppers.
