This mini greenhouse for an apartment developed by the author as a demonstration model, and not as a project for the production of a significant amount of herbs or vegetables.

First of all, this is a frame that represents functional design. All elements of the frame are cut from one sheet of plywood, which is a multilayer wood panel. You need to make 8 pieces of size 20x20x300 mm and 4 pieces of size 20x20x170 mm. To assemble the frame, 4 long side members and all small side members should have a small symmetrical groove at both ends. You can do this by cutting the bars and then using a chisel to remove excess. Just be careful, so as not to chop wood at this stage. You can make adjustments to the process by grinding the bars.

Twist the joints from 1/2 "to 3/4" into the corner positions.
Make racks. The remaining sections of 150 cm are placed in the corner parts of both the upper and lower sections. In essence, build a large cube. Wrap it in plastic wrap and seal the edges with duct tape. Find a piece of pipe, plugs and fill them with sand to hold the front valve down. For shelves you can use several metal sheets, as is done in this case. The clamps hold the shutter in place and protect it from the wind.

Home mini greenhouse

A greenhouse is a structure with a roof and walls made of glass or plastic. Mainly used for growing vegetables, fruits, plants and flowers, which protect crops from too high temperature or cold. Greenhouses create protected environment for plantsusing solar radiation to retain heat. This heating and air circulation system helps to createIn an enclosed space, an artificial environment that can support plants if the outdoor temperature is too low or variable. Heat enters the greenhouse through a coating of glass or plastic and begins to heat objects, soil and plants inside. Heated air near the soil begins to rise and is immediately replaced by cooler ambient air, which begins to heat up. This cycle raises the temperature inside the greenhouse faster than the outside air, creating a sheltered, warm microclimate. It's a theory to see how it works, do your home mini greenhouse. At least the one shown in these step-by-step photos.

Tepitaph on the window

If you want to grow plants at home, but you do not have a window sill, then here is a great solution to this problem. Shown here how to make a mini greenhouse, which can be fixed to the window with a few suction cups, candy boxes and a 3D printer. Once you find a 3D printer for printing window braces, the rest of the tools will be easy to assemble. You will need another drill and tweezers. The author printed the window bracket on Ultimaker 2, but you can use any printer you want.

You also need to prepare the container. Use the shallow portion of the container for landing and the tall portion as the lid.

1. Drill holes in the upper part to circulate air and prevent fogging of the internal surfaces. You can put a plank so that the container does not crack.
2. After drilling, it is important to clean the container to prevent mold and create a healthy growth environment.
3. Put cotton in a shallow part of the container and moisten in tap water. After that, you can add some more cotton wool if you think this is necessary. Just remember that more cotton wool means more water and a heavier greenhouse.
4. Moisten the two suction cups and fasten to the window until the bracket hangs at the same level.
5. Once you are sure that the suction cups are strong enough, install a seed container.
