Mini walk in greenhouses
I'm thinking of buying a mini greenhouse-the type positioned against wall/fence-to grow on bedding & maybe the odd tomato plant.
Could anyone suggest a good model to go for & perhaps warn against any that have proved to be poor choices.I would prefer one tall enough to be able to step inside.
Any advise & experiences much appreciated.

Were you thinking along the lines that Pansy said?
If you were thing of one of those plastic types, they you have To make sure they are really well fixed to the wall. Put two eye hooks in the wall and tie a rope around, do this at the top joint, where the uprights meets the roof bars. Otherwise it will off, plants and all.
If you can do that, they will be fine for a year or so, you can buy new covers for them, usually the Zips break.
Hi Lyn.I think Pansy was right in thinking I meant a proper metal framed glass or polycarbonate glazed one,like a full sized greenhouse but only 2 ft in depth & about 5 or 6ft long.
It is usually recommended that they are screwed to wall or fence for added securety.I had one of those plastic cover ones but the cover didnt last very long.
