9 MONTHS OLD AS OF 12/18 The Edenlite greenhouse was easy to assemble. Four pairs of hands are best for some stages but I was mostly able to construct it on my own. The components were well bagged and labelled to assist construction and minimise error. The auto roof opener is a must – so too the louvre window to reduce heat during summer. Edenlite’s salesman recommended that I assemble it onto a foundation of two or three layers of 100x100x2550 fence posts, which I did. It’s good advice if you have anyone using it who’s taller than about 180cm. I built in a couple of small raised planters, situated near the front doors, which I use mainly for herbs. The rest of the greenhouse is floored with square pavers. I was initially reluctant to buy a greenhouse, thinking it could wait until I was past 65 and completely retired, but that would’ve been a mistake. Owning and using one these past 9 months has been a lifestyle improvement. An added bonus is being able to sit in it during winter days for a hour or two, either reading a book or surfing the internet, in an environment that’s not only warm but full of sunlight and oxygen! I’ve grown corgettes, beetroot, corn, capsicum, celery, beans, eggplant, many herbs, and of course tomatoes – all from seed and staged to transplant outside once half grown and hardy – about 50 tomato plants so far. My wife and I will next month be making much soup, relish, sauce, pesto and puree to last us (as well as a few friends and family) right through 2019…
yep – definitely a lifestyle improvement. Thank you, Edenlite.
