| We are trying to find a not-too-costly greenhouse to extend our growing season here in MT. I have seen these on line and wondered if anyone has used them? Or do any of you have another suggestion. We are hobby (food)gardeners. Thanks for your help. |

| These would be good for starting seeds. But you could build something similar with some plastic and spare pieces of pvc pipe for cheaper. Before you buy/build a greenhouse, I highly recommend you read Eliot Coleman's Winter Harvest Handbook. He grows commercially in a cold winter climate, and the book will help you think through your plans. Save you a lot of stumbling around. |

| Yes. I purchased an EarthCare 7x7 portable greenhouse with a plastic cover in Feb 2012. It lasted through September 2012-nine months. I was excited when I got this greenhouse. It is just the right size for my small backyard. The first thing we noticed is that the plastic cover is too small for the frame. We thought it might stretch out. It didn't. I contacted the company (their website states that there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee), and got a rather rude reply, and the customer service rep didn't even bother to use capital letters in their response. I filed a complaint with the BBB. The issue still isn't resolved. I DO NOT recommend this company! |
