Uses of a Mini Cone Greenhouse

USES


Solar Heat Collector
  • Pre warming the ground to thaw it out early in the spring.
  • Keeping the soil thawed out once it is thawed out.
  • Adding a heat reserve by collecting solar energy during the day and storing it in the ground under the cone overnight.
Shelter
  • As a shelter from the wind to prevent wind chill of existing plants.
  • As a barrier to small animals such as cats or dogs
  • As a shelter from snow or heavy rain
Starting a garden early in the season
  • Planting a pre-sprouted seed even though there is still risk of frost outside the Mini Cone Greenhouse
  • Planting a seed and have it sprout as soon as the inside temperature and moisture conditions encourage sprouting
  • Planting a transplant and allowing it to "harden" to outside temperature inside a shelter.
