A hobby greenhouse can be any small greenhouse that is not used for profit. It can be any size although most are small enough to be worked by a single gardener. Having a greenhouse is an excellent way to have fresh food or flowers all year long, with very little work and maintenance.
A hobby greenhouse can be built of many materials. The simplest are made from PVC piping and clear plastic sheeting. They can be built for less than a hundred dollars and assembled by almost anyone. They do not necessarily have to be permanent either, some merely rest on the ground like a tent and can be moved around accordingly.
A hobby greenhouse makes sense during hard economic times. Plants can be grown throughout the year, providing fresh fruits and vegetables all season long and well into the winter months. A few additions such as a heat can prolong the growing season all year round. Adding a hydroponic system can increase yields by even more, utilizing all the space available.
