Portable Hothouse Rolls Where Needed FARM HOME Miscellaneous 34-4-18 "It lets me give plants an early start in the spring. I use my garden tractor to pull it around," says Chris Juel, Scobey, Mont., about his portable hothouse.
The low-cost plant starter is made from 2 by 6's and 5/8-in. thick plywood and measures 4 ft. wide by 8 ft. long. It rides on four 8-in. wheels and is equipped with a hinged, curved transparent cover that's fastened to metal hoops. The hothouse's plywood ends are painted black. Potted plants set on a layer of heavy plastic that keeps the wood from rotting.
"It cost very little to build," says Juel. "I use it every year to start early tomatoes. I keep it close by my house to take care of the plants. Then when it's time to plant I pull it out to my garden. I can put an electric heater inside if the weather gets colder than normal."
