Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 As a complete novice to veg growing, I'm starting to make plans and look around for inspiration/ideas . I came across this on the Lakeland website. Do you think it would be any good? I don't have a greenhouse and have a very windy garden .

poachedegg Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 They have something similar in Wilkos for £9.99: http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/invt/0273091 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The fact that your garden is windy might be a bit of a prob. I had one of the 'greenhouses' of a similar design, and it blew across the garden, in a stiff breeze, causing me to lose lots of seedlings. If you can fasten it to a wall in some way it should be OK.

mostin Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you can fasten it down then it should be fine, the wind was the main problem with mine, but you get good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 From the look of them, they are held down by the growbag (if you put canes underneath it) so I was hoping that would solve the wind problem! Thanks for the Wilkos link - they are much taller too as well as being much cheaper . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenanne Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i have a similar plastic one, and a very very windy garden. I've weighted it by putting bricks on the bottom shelf and it's been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a greenhouse and have a very windy garden . yes but I'd make sure I went for a cordon variety not a bush and stopped the plant at about 4 trusses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
