Hi guys!

(This is my 1st instructable, so please be gentle!)

This is a small greenhouse very easy to build from a plastic fruit bascket you can get for free from you local supermarket.
You also will need plastic film, duck-tape, a plier and a sharp knife.
I already improve it to version_1.1 to avoid water pool on the top (see pics).

Enjoy!

Cut off the button of the plastic bascket. Use the plier. Notice that there will be some sharp plastic edges witch I literaly melt off with a heat-gun tool I have (optional).

yes, these are low quality plastic baskets.
I'm sure they reuse and/or recycle but also gave me some for free.
There are others more robust they don't give away.
