Introduction: 15 Minute Small Greenhouse (under 1 Usd)
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!
Step 1:
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).
Step 2:
Place the plastic film on a flat surface and position the backet. I found it easyer with use of small pieces of dual side tape (optional). Then bend the plastic film to close all sides. Use a good strip of duck tape to end at both ends.
Step 3:
Trim the extra plastic film and apply more duck tape as shown.
Step 4:
My version_1.1 improvement was to place a wood stick to make a kind of angled roof to avoid water pool (optional).
Step 5:
DONE!
I'm covering my seedling starter trays during windy and rainy winter.
ENJOY

they give out those baskets for free at supermarkets? you sure they dont reuse them?

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.
