Greenhouses

These are the greenhouses I use in my garden. They've been game changers in what I can grow and when I can plant. Grow bags work great for weighing the bases down for wind and of course placing them in a sheltered space helps too.

This greenhouse is perfect to have in a sheltered space by your house or fence, preferable with good light exposure. Tall enough to walk into, enough space to add shelves but they aren't built in so you can use it for taller plants like dwarf trees o...

These are a more aesthetic page with the nice green stitching on the edge. The quality feels a slight bit better than the vivosun bags and the price reflects that. Both are a good bag with all the expected benefits of a grow bag.

This stuff is THE fungicide you want. I use it for red leaf curl on my peach tree both topically and systemically through the roots and it knocks it back unlike anything else I've tried. Great product.

This is great for plants that are just starting out or stressed and needing a boost. It gives them aminos that they can use immediately without expending energy on photosynthesis and the nitrogen gives them a burst of fresh leaf growth.
