Picnic Table Green House

This is a quick and dirty green house that I thought up this spring so I can save a few bucks on starter plants. Its made from a picnic table some bricks and sheet of clear plastic. I always pick up bricks when I see them discarded so I already had them and I already had the picnic table. The picnic table and Bricks are not harmed by this project so after the frost the bricks go back to the pile o bricks and the table becomes a table again.

Just line the edge of the table with a row of bricks. Stack 2 bricks in the middle of the table. Fill the middle of the table with your starter seeds in dirt . I use Dixie cups just because they are cheap and they biodegrade. Place a sheet of plastic over the table set another row of bricks around the perimeter to hold the sheet down and a brick in the middle. You shouldn't have to water often the bricks and plastic keep the moisture in. The bricks protect against wind. The two bricks in the middle help the rain to drain off the top but it's not perfect but it's cheap.
