What I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Got A Greenhouse
What I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Got A Greenhouse
Watch to avoid all of the mistakes I made when I first started planning for my own greenhouse! Thank you to @BCGreenhouseBuilders for this truly amazing greenhouse. It’s already transformed how I approach my garden.
While my greenhouse is custom, it’s only one of the many options @BCGreenhouseBuilders offers across to suit any budget!

My Kitchen is my “greenhouse” for a couple months with seedlings. I have been looking at getting a greenhouse but I think it would take away from my garden…so I’ll pause baking my cakes, breads, cookies and all my goodies for the little sacrifice 🤷♀️
Do you really need a greenhouse especially being in zone 10B? I’m in zone 9B in California and considering just investing in nice garden beds instead of an expensive greenhouse. Nowadays you can build a nice covering for garden beds. Plus wouldn’t it be beneficial for plants to get rain water when it rains instead of being covered up in a greenhouse. Anyone’s thoughts would be appreciated it. Thanks
Dude, why do you look like the third Property Brother
Thank you for your very informative video. Can you give us a ballpark price on what you spent on yours? Including the electrical…I’m guessing $20k?
I just got a ’80 x ’30 and I am kind of overwhelmed! Going to be fun figuring out the ins and outs of greenhouse growing. I love the way yours looks!
fantastic video
The one mistake I made not having the doors facing the air flow.The west breeze/ wind would have helped with air flow and cooling.
Thank you for this great information! I’ve had my eye on BC Greenhouses for quite some time. Can you tell me the size of your greenhouse?
I have had so many green houses. Foundation is of greatest importance. If you live anywhere that has hot weather make sure you have your greenhouse pointed towards the prevailing winds if you don’t have expensive ventilation. Make sure you can put in an electric line then add another water hose to it. I live in Oklahoma City my greenhouses get beat up so depending on where you live you need to keep that in mind. My heater shorted during a cold spell-14… I had a 30yr old ficus die
How would you call the blocks where you build your greenhouse foundation on?
0:42 I’m struggling with this decision as well. I’m in hot, humid zone 8b so I thought I’d want to give the greenhouse some relief from afternoon sun and heat. I know nothing about greenhouses.
My backyard faces south fortunately so if I did place it more east – ish it would still get full sun throughout the winter with some relief in summer from the sun setting behind the houses next door.
I see you got those 20 dollar seed starters.
I’m thinking of doing a greenhouse, coming over from growing cannabis in a tent. I’m surprised you haven’t taken advantage of wifi/bluetooth controllers for inline fans, de/humidifiers, heaters, etc.
Best video I’ve seen in years. New subscriber. Now I want one
So..this is mostly an ad for your sponser’s greenhouse and your products? This is the 3rd video of yours I’ve watched and they were all mostly about selling products you or your sponsers make. I get that you need to make money, but I don’t feel like I can really trust the info you provide when the point seems to be sales not sharing good info.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I have one observation: the coffee plant you have inside the greenhouse seems to be suffering from the fungus commonly known as Roya. Perhaps it needs a little bit of treatment outside the greenhouse. Just an observation. You have a wonderful day!
I’m so glad you got a fancy greenhouse. You work so hard!
Can you please let me know where you purchased the curry plant
That piston system is so cool
Do you have to harden off seedling or plants before planting outside if you started them in a greenhouse like that
“ Why would this guy, even, need a greenhouse ? ”
Ummmm … ( pause, and stare ) ;
Urr ahh ; because there’s this convenient, little, term called control.
You know ; that thing that everybody wrestles to impose upon ;
• other people
• situations
• narratives
• destinies
• trivial matters
• etc.
On the contrary ; we should want to, doubly, exercise such a [ luxury ] — regarding the environment of mankind’s most pressing requirement : nourishment. 👀
metaphorticulture – you’re not living if you’re not growing.
Too much trouble regulating temperature.
No one mentions the cost of the fancy greenhouse and I am afraid to ask at this point. 😄
So we need electric for the fan?
Hi, I love your content don’t know you will get request I watch
channel ‘The Busy Brown Angel’
she is in your zone Sacramento, Calif
Here’s the request could you go to her property access the problem? Thanks in advance your caring kind spirit covers through your content
Huge problem with gophers
Great video! Question: how are you able to start seeds in your greenhouse? Since seeds need to be started early so they are ready to plant in the ground after the last frost date, won’t the green house be way too cold (possibly freezing even at night time) especially in the first early weeks after planting seeds? Do you use a heater during those first early weeks to ensure germination ? I have always wondered about this.
Can you use it in BC winter
"reasonably priced" and its $4500 minimum
I do want a green house but I live in zone 12 here in Puerto Rico, I just love how they look and the convince of having everything organized
Thank you for the overview. I will be ordering a BC greenhouse soon 🙂
Hi, sorry, what is the long leafed plant name at 4:12? Thank you, appreciate it!
I went to that greenhouse site, went to a page called "instant pricing" just wanted to see a ballpark idea of what these cost. BUT I cannot find a price anywhere. "LIVE CHAT" is not live at all. Only 4pm est on a Friday so they aught to be there, but no. And Im done.
Don’t suppose you might post what YOURS costed huh?
An aspiration for my garden! I plan to repurpose the frame of an old play gym. Your greenhouse is the perfect scale for my garden space. Happy to discover your channel. Thank you and happy gardening!
Can you put it on concrete? What size is it? I would like to connect to my potting shed. So I like that lean to look.
Damn, that greenhouse costs $14,000?! 😂 Maybe I should a greenhouse building company
custom
how dare you not link the greenhouse thermometer, i like the way that one looks
Why is better than inside the house?
😮I thought foreign countries didn’t grow bananas. In my hometown, they grow a lot of them but can’t sell them. They’re all left to ripen on the stove
Me ans my parents are looking for a greenhouse but we’re on budget
14k for this ! You mush be doing drugs bc zero %
So stoked to see that coffee shrub in the back!
WAIT! Gravel has an "orientation"??
Excellent tips. I’ve long wanted a greenhouse, and didn’t consider many of the things you mentioned.
At 2:23 you mention that your gravel "shifted like 90 degrees" … what did you mean by this? What is it that you did wrong? I don’t get it.
Shampoo Ginger aka Awapui reminds me of hikes in Oahu, our guide encouraged us to rub it into our hair and skin. Magical.
I plan to grow my own ayahuasca lol
I love those corner blocks for the base! What are they called and where can I find them?
protects from pests too.
