Greenhouse kits are available from many different companies. They are either metal or wood frames with glass or plastic panels. They are shipped to you and require assembly. However, they are much less expensive than paying for a professionally built greenhouse. The kits can take anywhere from a few hours to a day to assemble. Most require only simple tools such as socket wrenches and screwdrivers.
Bugs and pests are a constant problem in gardening. With a home greenhouse kit you can reduce the risk of pests getting to your plants. Rabbits will no longer make off with your harvest before you can pick it. A greenhouse won’t stop all bugs, but as long as you keep the doors closed you limit the exposure bugs will have to your garden.
Weeds are the other big issue every gardener has to contend with. Whether blown in on the wind, or tracked in by animals and bugs; weeds take valuable nutrients away from your plants. A greenhouse keeps windblown seeds out of your garden.
Finally there is climate control. Whether you live in the arid west, the sub-tropic south, or the cool north there are always plants that will struggle within your climate. A home greenhouse kit provides excellent climate control. It disperses direct sunlight to avoid scorching your plants. It keeps the temperature up and prevents those early and late frosts from killing your plants. It retains moisture to keep your plants from drying up.
