such as lettuce, broccoli, spinach, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of its characteristics is that, because it is closed, it allows you to grow and plant in isolation, that is, away from the weather conditions outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some greenhouses that include a temperature and humidity control system. In this way, it is possible to know the optimum conditions for each crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_home_greenhouses\"><\/span>Types of home greenhouses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greenhouses are classified according to their <strong>design and size<\/strong>. Therefore, it is possible to create home greenhouses, domestic greenhouses, among others that you will learn about below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Small_greenhouses\"><\/span>Small greenhouses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are the most affordable, as they can be located in many places, and require little space. They can be made in small houses that do not have a garden or balcony, and will do the same function as a larger greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recyclable materials can be used to make this greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balcony\"><\/span>Balcony<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can be made on balconies or terraces. It is a greenhouse that allows the planting of higher plants, that is, those that are more developed. It takes up more space than small greenhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accordion_greenhouses\"><\/span>Accordion greenhouses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are very easy to put on and take off. They are practical for growing tables and ideal for use during the winter season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Garden_tables\"><\/span>Garden tables<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a good option that allows a large number of plants and vegetables to be harvested. It needs a large space and is more complex to build and more expensive. Wood can be used for this type of greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_home_greenhouses\"><\/span>Advantages of home greenhouses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will now tell you what the benefits of having a greenhouse at home are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><ul><li>The crops will be <strong>protected from low temperatures<\/strong>.<\/li><li>It<strong>increases production<\/strong>, i.e., it determines good conditions for developing the plantation because of the insulation from the outside.<\/li><li>It<strong>increases the yield <\/strong>, 2 to 3 times compared to planting in open fields. Hydroponic crops can be increased by up to 10 times.<\/li><li><strong>Less problems. <\/strong>If the crops are protected, climatic damage is reduced.<\/li><li><strong>Water savings<\/strong>. In greenhouses, drip irrigation is used, constituting a great saving of water.<\/li><li><strong>Pest and disease control. <\/strong>Its watertightness is a key factor for good pest and disease control.<\/li><li><strong>Cultivate all year round.<\/strong> The climate control in a greenhouse allows to cultivate all the year without any problem.<\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_make_a_greenhouse_at_home_A_step-by-step_guide\"><\/span>How to make a greenhouse at home: A step-by-step guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you dare to make a <strong>home greenhouse<\/strong>, take note of the following step-by-step guide to building your own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cleaning_the_space\"><\/span>Cleaning the space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clean the space where you are going to place the greenhouse. It is advisable to locate it in an area that has good <strong>water drainage<\/strong> and more sunlight nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_a_standard_size\"><\/span>Choose a standard size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A standard measurement you can take into account is 3 x 2 meters. To do this, you must first dig small holes about 30 cm deep where the wood or veneer will be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These will serve as walls to support the greenhouse. It is important to take into account that a space must be left for the entrance to the greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_the_columns\"><\/span>Build the columns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use two woods of about 10 x 5 cm and the height you decide for the greenhouse. They should then be nailed vertically at the ends away from the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These columns will support another wood that should be placed horizontally and will serve as the central beam of the greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assemble_the_structure\"><\/span>Assemble the structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To assemble the structure, the PVC pipes must be laid in a curve from one side to the other and over the main beam. The structure&#8217;s pipes are then nailed together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cover_the_structure\"><\/span>Cover the structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should cover the entire structure of the greenhouse with nylon or similar material. You can help yourself with nails and stick it to this material in order to cover the whole structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distribute_the_boxes\"><\/span>Distribute the boxes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside, he places small wooden crates in the ground and thus distributes the plantations in an orderly manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_make_a_greenhouse_with_recycled_materials\"><\/span>How to make a greenhouse with recycled materials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before making your own greenhouse you should consider the material to be used, and <strong>wood<\/strong> is one of the most used and recommended. It is an ecologically clean, light and resistant material. In addition, it is very cheap compared to other materials such as metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to know <strong>how to make a greenhouse with recycled materials<\/strong>, you should reuse products that help reduce the impact on the environment or recycled materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use <strong>empty plastic bottles<\/strong>, which will help create a suitable climate for the plants to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just cut the base of the bottle and use it to wrap the seed. As it grows, it will hold up better to heat and moisture. Also, you can use egg cartons and create homemade seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So much for our guide on <strong>how to make a home greenhouse<\/strong>, and as you will see it is EASY! <strong> <\/strong>We hope it has helped you make a good decision to build this structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making a greenhouse at home can be an excellent family plan.
