Apartment dwellers, and

welcome the oppurtunity to

Many cities offer vacant

actually interferes with direct sun rays, causing leaves to turn yellow and brown. To avoid plant malnourishment, Baker

Greenhouse Gardening:
Try It, You'll Like It!

eLoday,: ‘more and more
hardening enthusiasts ure
“additig” greenhouses to thei?
“growing domains,” believ-
ing they provide a stable
climate for plants by main-
taining a controllable
amount of light, providing
proper humidity, temper-
ature, and limiting exposure
10 disease und insects. For
many, the .cunvenience a
greenhouse affords is equal
to the relaxation of putter-
ing with plants and the far-
ming of a home-grown
harvest.

In choosing the size of a
greenhouse, home gardeners
should keep in mind thetype
and size of the desired
‘foliage and required upkeep.

City dwellers, and others
with limited space, might
consider a small, inexpen-
sive window greenhouse.
These are installed inside or
oulside a window frame and
hung over the window like
an air conditioner,

Those desiring more
Space may prefer a larger,
tri-wailed greenhouse. Three
wails are connected tu an ex-
isting structure, usually the
rear of a home or a gurage.
This model affords’ -gar-
deners considerable savings

‘owing to the existing pre-

structure and omission. of

“one wall.

Freestanding green-
houses, which are separate
from other buildings, are the
most expensive as they must
be formed from a newly-
created, four-walled struc-
ture. These models provide
slightly more space than
their tri-part descendants,
and foliage housed in them
grows straighter and faster
due to increased light.

Greenhouses arrive in
parts or assembled sections,
Many models are designed
for do-it-yourself installa-
tion, but ambitious gar-
deners may want to build
from seratch using scrap
wood, glass, and plastic. All
installations require elec-
trical, plumbing, and heat.
