Glove & Dachnik
Hey Glove, I've been thinking about building a tiny greenhouse that keeps the soil warm with just solar heat and a strip of black plastic. It’s a simple, low‑maintenance setup that could give us year‑round tomatoes. Thought it might fit your focus on efficiency. What do you think?
Looks solid on paper, but a single strip of plastic won’t keep the temperature stable when the sun’s off. If you’re going to run it, put a small heater or a thermal mass in there so you can hit that 18–20 °C sweet spot all the time. No one likes a greenhouse that turns into a snow‑pit in winter. Get the insulation right, keep the vents tight, and you’ll get the consistent growth you want. Keep the plan tight, and you’ll have a reliable crop.
