If you are looking for one of the best gardening tips without spending much money, this is it! You can make a small greenhouse using a cheap umbrella from your local dollar store! This whole DIY will not cost you more than a few bucks!
This trick works best if your plants are inside a circular bin, round rub or a simple pot.
All you need is your plants potted and a cheap clear umbrella from the dollar store!
Here are the steps:
- Make sure all your plants are potted properly.
- Remove the handles from the umbrellas and leave them open. If you wish, you can keep the handles on, it depends of your pot and your plants.
- Place the umbrella over the plants to create a dome! The clear plastic will let the light in but will still trap moisture creating the perfect greenhouse for your plants!
And that's it! So easy, isn't it?
You just created a lovely mini-greenhouse for only a dollar or two.
On top of that, your mini greenhouses will act as a shield and protect your precious plants from harsh weather and/or heavy rain, and of course unwanted pests.
You can get as many umbrellas as you need! But remember, it will work better if you are using pots or circular bins.
