• Michelle Roberts has been using a Palram four-by-six-foot hobby greenhouse for three years, starting seedlings for her 1/10 acre garden.
• The current price of the greenhouse is around $600, and discounts are possible with some research.
• Michelle believes the greenhouse is worth it due to its strength, lightweight, and ability to protect plants from wind before they can be hardened off.
• She successfully starts seedlings all year round, apart from June-September when it gets too hot even with a shade cloth.
• Pros include starting $10,000 worth of food over the past three years and withstanding tropical storms without discoloring.
• Cons include adjusting the rubber door seal every few weeks and tightening the latch once a month.
• Michelle recommends adding extra strapping to create a floor as this helps add stability and comfort to the greenhouse structure.
