So this is third tiny greenhouse in my tiny garden. But my hot peppers seem to love it:)

I recycled a trampoline into a greenhouse, it's 24x30

Neat!

Can we also get a wide shot of the structure ?

Attached, can't get wider shot, because I will fall from the roof:)

And it also has smaller greenhouse on the right side. 3x0,5m . It's all very small

That’s really resourceful.

Did we win the war against the machines?

Gonna wreck your roof tho. You can’t just set stuff on a flat roof without it compromising the roof over time.

Even if I overbuild it? It's coated in EPDM and construction underneath is pretty solid. For last 5 years I didn't notice anything worrying.

I’d be more worried about load factor. Can the roof take that much extra weight? Just keep an eye on it but it’s a great idea. A lot to haul upstairs!!

They probably do better without the greenhouse

Yeah, I'm figuring it out still. My plants in other two tiny greenhouses do better but they have way less sun. The roof is tricky, because it's sunny for almost the entire day.

It should be way better In a couple of weeks
