Mini Greenhouses play an important role when growing vegetables. There are many different types of Mini Greenhouses for different needs, from sowing seeds into trays and giving them warmth to direct sowing seedlings into the soil. These are the most common types of Mini Greenhouses that you can use in your garden:
Vertical Greenhouses
These Greenhouses are ideal when used to sow seeds into trays and pots. Thier height makes them easy to access without the need to bend over. The other benefit of these vertical greenhouses is they take up less space in the garden with thier smaller footprint, you can sow up to 6 rows of seedlings in a small patch of the garden.
Its important to manage the location of these vertical greenhouses, in colder months full sun is key, however as you enter Spring and into warmer months they can overheat and burn small plants. Ensure you are ventilating vertical greenhouses on warmer days.
Mini Greenhouses

- Carrots
- Beans
