If you're building a geodesic sphere greenhouse or any other type you need to understand there's more to successfully growing plants year round than slapping up the structure.

Your Dome Greenhouse Is Fun!

Those who fail to understand this are doomed to fail and often blame the greenhouse itself for their failed crops.

Two things will determine what kind and how much equipment you'll need to create the proper environment inside your greenhouse for growing plants.

The climate outdoors and the climate you want to set up and maintain inside your greenhouse.  The climate you establish inside your greenhouse will dictate what kinds of plants you can grow inside it.

Your Dome Greenhouse Is Easy To Build!

The climate controls you provide will determine the effectiveness of your greenhouse. Therefore, it's important to get the best equipment you can possibly afford.  Each of your purchases should have the ability to handle the needs of your particular greenhouse.

Since you have absolutely no control over the climate in your area, it's best to "Know Your Enemy", as the saying goes.  The harsher and more severe the climate where you live, the more you'll need to alter or augment the climate inside your greenhouse.  That could mean heating, cooling, humidifying, lighting and venting.  The more you need to add the higher the cost of operation.

Finding greenhouse equipment is easier than ever.  Amazon has a good selection as do other online sources.  Your local garden shop or home center will have some options for you as well.  Do your homework to get the best deal on the greenhouse equipment you need for your geodesic sphere greenhouse.

Your Dome Greenhouse Is Inexpensive!

Be sure to speak with the folks you trust at your local garden center.  They will be intimately familiar with your climate's problems and should be able to advise you on what sort of things you'll need for the type of plants you plan to grow to thrive.

Just be sure you understand that most successful geodesic sphere greenhouses include some sort of heating system, cooling system and ventilation system.  There are very few climates where these basic systems are not needed, at least once in a while.

Other systems you may want to consider are...  a way to regulate and supplement humidity, automatic watering and fertilizing as well as artificial lighting.  By carefully selecting the systems you want or need you will insure your geodesic sphere greenhouse will provide you an optimum growing space for your crops with a minimum effort and expenditure on your part.

Make Geodesic Dome Greenhouse

Large or Small Making A Geodesic Dome Greenhouse
Is A Great DIY Project For Any Gardener
Download YOUR Plans Here

When you make geodesic dome greenhouses it's much like building any other building.  Work begins at ground level moving up and then from the outside in. 

The first thing you will need to do is prepare the site and you'll finish with completing the inside details of your geodesic dome greenhouse.

Coming up with a design, blueprint or plan is essential to the success of this or any diy project.  If you just grab some lumber and start building you are simply asking for disaster.  Especially if you want to make a geodesic dome.

Most folks cold cobble together something vaguely house shaped (though it's advised you use greenhouse plans for even the simplest structure to make sure you get the results you are looking for)  but a geodesic sphere or "bucky ball" as they are sometimes called is something else entirely.

To make geodesic dome greenhouses you really need a good set of plans to follow.  That's not to say this is a hard project, not by any means.  But it does require precision and attention to detail.  So get yourself a set of plans from someone who's already built one and you'll be way ahead of the game.

Ok, so once your design is finalized you'll need to go get any building permits your local government may require.  Most places do not require building permits for "portable structures" and many geodesic greenhouses are quite portable making them easy, inexpensive and hassle free to build.

With permits in hand (if needed) it's time to go shopping. 

There's two schools of thought here.  Get everything at once before you begin building.  This saves you time an could save you money because you often can get a better price when buying in bulk. 

Also, running out of something half way thru a project is a hassle.  Especially if the thing you need has to be ordered.  This will add up to a huge delay and extra expense if you hired help to assist with your construction efforts.

The second method of gathering greenhouse building supplies is to keep your eyes open for sales and free materials over a season or two.  If you are not in a hurry this can really save you a bundle of cash.

In any case, your first task when you make geodesic dome greenhouses, or any kind of greenhouse, will be to prepare the site.

Whether you are putting in a foundation for a permanent structure or building a portable greenhouse you'll need to level the ground where you plan to build.  Be sure to consider drainage issues and access to utilities such as water and electric when deciding where to position your greenhouse. 

It goes without saying that it's faster and less expensive to position your new geodesic dome near existing utilities such as those already existing in a garage rather than having to hire an electrician or plumber to run new lines and pipes.

If you plan to have a concrete floor, be sure to have it poured well before you plan to erect the walls so it has plenty of time to cure.  Once your site is ready and your floor (dirt or other) is in place you're ready to make geodesic dome greenhouse!

The entire perimeter of the dome can be turned into planting space. If the dome is large enough a planting area in the center is quite doable. Just don't forget to include room for the gardener!

Though it might be tempting to go to the other extreme and simply forget the plants and hang out in your geodesic sphere all winter long (hey don't laugh... I've even seen some folks make patio decks in the center of their geodesic dome greenhouse so they can go vacation in the "tropics" daily even though it's 20 degrees or less outside with 3 feet of snow) don't do it. Your geodesic greenhouse will be so much comfier if you actually grow plants in it.
