Milk Jug Greenhouse is a simple yet effective technique of container gardening which yields lush, healthy plants at the same time. You too can do it – in just a couple of days! Milk Jug Greenhouse creates healthy, robust plants that are well suited for transplanting long before most indoor grown plants get planted. These plants usually grow larger and produce more fruits than plants sowed with other techniques because they have always been kept under controlled temperature conditions for the full length of their growing season.

There are two types of plants: those which do well in cold environments and those that do well in hot environments. Most plants prefer cooler temperatures. There are some exceptions to this generalization and some plants are even adaptable to different temperatures. Most African violet plants, for example, do well in cold environments but would not do well in hot environments. However, there are exceptions and milk jugs make great plants for both.

To start, remove all weeds from your garden soil. This will be easier if you can divide your soil in half and spread it on a thick sanded floor. You will later sow a continuous strip of half-inch thick seed on this sanctified surface. The first crop will go into a container and be sowed in a separate container once the weeds have died down. Repeat the process until you have an entire plant lined up in a single container.

Harvest and water your plants immediately after harvest. Make sure you water them very well though as the moisture content is very low during winter. The seed should dry fairly quickly after picking, roughly within two days. If your garden early sows early, you may want to place the container in a larger container. This will help keep the plant warm and prevent browning due to condensation.

The second and third growing seasons in your new milk jug greenhouses are equally important. This is the time to prune all the plants to prevent over-planting. If you haven’t already started, you should start preparing your soil for planting in the fall. You’ll want to mix the necessary nutrients into the soil prior to planting so that you can have an easier time with the subsequent growing seasons.

The final steps in establishing your new garden in your backyard is to prepare the final planting site. This includes leveling the surface of the garden soil with a light trowel and filling in any cracks or deep pockets with either sand or gravel. Then you’ll want to line the area with either landscape cloth or a permanent marker. These markers will serve as your guide throughout the entire year so that you don’t get lost in the summer heat. The permanent marker serves as a focal point that you can visit when necessary to refer to your garden’s location.

The final step in planting your new backyard garden in your milk jugs is the final step: harvest time. You should take the entire crop that you’re planning on planting and remove it from the potting soil using your pickax. Your next step should be to dig a hole that is half the size of your milk jug in which to plant your crop. After planting, you should cover the hole with dirt. When it is finally time to harvest your crop, you should lift the lid of your milk jug greenhouse. If your greenhouse is built with a door flap, you should quickly close the door flap to prevent excess humidity from collecting in the greenhouse.

If you’ve built your milk jugs greenhouse yourself, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of your hard work in years to come. As you introduce new plants into your garden, you’ll notice an increase in the vegetables and fruits that you enjoy eating. All your hard work will be for nothing if you’re not able to ensure they have a healthy growing environment in which to thrive.
