Products that help us grow some of our own food…
We look for products that make sense in our (and your) quest to grow some of your own organic food. When we find one we like we will tell you about it.
If you have a patio and want to do square foot gardening, Burpee's Plant Inn Snap and Grow Greenhouse looks very interesting. It is an elevated greenhouse, so it easy to work with. The dimensions are 46 1/2 inches by 46 1/2 inches. That is almost 4 feet by 4 feet, so you would have 16 sections to grow. The mini greenhouse has polycarbonate panels that help keep the warmth in on a chilly morning or keep the heavy rain out on a stormy day. Because the growing bed is elevated, there is room underneath for storage.
This product is similar to one that I had been watching back several years ago, the GrowCamp. GrowCamp was designed in Denmark and was an innovation in small greenhouse gardening. It had a roof, and panels along the side. It was about 3 foot by 3 foot. I cannot find it on any site in the US for sale, it was pricey and perhaps that is why.
Burpee's Plant Inn Snap and Grow, is a similar product at a much better price. The Plant Inn Snap and Grow is larger so you can grow more and it has the storage area underneath. If you want easy gardening in a small area, take a look at this solution. You can divide the area into one foot squares and read the book "Square Foot Gardening" by Mel Bartholomew.
