This is my first time of using a greenhouse, and it's also the first fall garden I've ever planted.
My small garden sits on a steep, terraced hill with retaining walls. The fill material behind the retaining walls is thick gravel (as much as four feet deep) making the area unusable for growing things. The raised bed garden (ordered from ) sits on top of one of the terraced areas, and it only gets morning sun for a couple of hours each day, with no afternoon sun.
So the other day, when I went to water the garden, I was shocked by how warm and moist the inside of greenhouse was. As I lifted one of the flaps, warm air and steam rolled out and fogged up my glasses.
I'm also going to have to say that this is the first thing I have ever assembled, that was actually fun. My idea of fun isn't usually assembling things, but these tubing parts and connectors reminded me of a toy that I used to play with when I was a small child.
I assembled the greenhouse structure, including the plastic cover, on a flat floor inside the garage. Once it was all put together, I picked it up in one piece and carried it to my terraced area.
I would say the greenhouse took about 15 minutes to assemble, and less than 2 minutes to set up over my raised bed garden.
My radishes and lettuce are thriving in the warm, moist air, and I plan on putting raised bed gardens with greenhouses on each of my terraced areas.
