Gardening In Your Geodesic Dome Greenhouse
67
After you’ve begun gardening in your geodesic dome greenhouse you’ll be wondering how you ever managed to live without one. Your plants will grow like crazy, they’ll produce flowers and even bear fruit like never before. Best of all you’ll be gardening all year round, unfazed by the weather outside. No more months of staring out the window wishing the snow would go away so you can get into your garden!
There are lots of kinds of gardening you can do inside your greenhouse. Of course you can grow exotic plants with beautiful foliage and exquisite flowers. But there’s a more practical application for your dome greenhouse as well. You can easily start summer annuals and veggies from seed in early spring or fall. This will give you very well established seedlings to transplant outside when the weather warms up sufficiently.
If you’re a plant hoarder like me, you’ll love how you can increase your plant collection by propagating new plants from cuttings. You can even use part, or all, of your dome to grow vegetables to maturity so you get to eat vine fresh food all year long. This is one of the perks that inspires many a gardener to build a greenhouse in the first place.
One of the most appealing aspects of greenhouse gardening is how you can grow tropical plants that wouldn’t survive otherwise. They need controlled environmental conditions that only a greenhouse can provide in your location. What a feeling of accomplishment to set up and maintain such delights. If you’re like me you will get a real feeling of pride showing off the exotic little beauties thriving in the artificial climate you’ve created, be it desert or tropical.
The geodesic greenhouse gardener has got to be the most fortunate of folks. Once you’ve mastered the art of greenhouse gardening you can grow just about any plant you choose at any time of year. All thanks to the fact that he can create the proper climate and control it.
Of course first you’ll have to build a geodesic dome greenhouse to play in. But you’ll be pleased to know that’s not as hard or as expensive as you’ve been lead to believe! Luckily today there are plenty of greenhouse kits on the market and greenhouse plans are readily available for those who prefer a diy project. One of the perks of getting greenhouse plans is they usually come with instructions for to help you run your greenhouse not just build it.
