Hi:
It sounds like you are doing the right thing with bringing your mini greenhouse in at night. It will depend on what plant specimens you have if they could be damaged. If you have little seedlings or plugs, they need to be protected. If you have some established plants in pots, as long as they are protected from the actual outside elements, they should be fine.

I germinated thousands of seeds in a greenhouse. The greenhouse had heat, and I kept it around 68 degrees throughout the winter and cooler months.

In spring, I usually recommend to my clients to start bringing their plants outdoors during the day, and if the night time temperature is cooler, bring them back in.

It will all depend on what type of plant specimens you have in your greenhouse. Vegetables, flowers and especially herbs if real young, need warmth to continue their root establishment.

I hope this has helped some. Your garage is a good place to store your greenhouse when the temperatures are cooler. When in doubt, always bring them in to protect them.

A study showed cattle produced methane as the number 1 cause of green house gas causing global warming, and as a result the Obama transition is planning a tax on farm green house gas.

Question by Dropkick-me Elmo: Who has a good green house aftect project that i could use?
we have to make a 2-liter bottle getting hotter. We can’t use chemicals and the bottle has to be the only part of the project that touches the ground. Finally it has to have a hole in the lid just big enough that a glass thermometer can fit through.

You could cut the bottle in half, and fill it about 3 inches high with a mixture of food coloring and water. Then put an empty glass in the center that’s a little over 3 inches tall. Then tape the top half of the bottle back on and put the cap with the thermometer on it. When the water evaporates it will condense on the thermometer and drip into the glass in the center. After a day or two, you will have pure water in the glass, surrounded by the food coloring / water mixture around it. That’s because the food coloring won’t evaporate with the water.

I don’t know. I saw some kid do it for a science project.

Question by Ride Like The Wind: How much do you think building a green house will cost 10 years from now, in comparison to the prices now?
Currently, most green building materials are pretty expensive, at least in the US.
Say that it’d cost around $ 300,000-$ 400,000 to build a 3,000 square foot completely green house now.
How much would it cost 10 years from now?
What green materials do you think will be mass produced?

Answer by lisetrise
It’s hard to say – but since green is becoming more and more mainstream – and manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon to produce goods…..it may be less expensive than even now – with materials prices going so high.

You might be amazed to find that energy efficient home design (see:)

and other features such as insulated concrete forms:
