Greenhouse Part 3: Gravel & Pavers & Gadgets

Now that the greenhouse is assembled (go see that post), I'm anxious to get it decked out with good drainage flooring and other fun toys.

I figured I'd need about a yard an a half of pea gravel, so of course I ordered two. And a pile of pavers. I've probably used less than half of the pea gravel... but I plan to use it outside the greenhouse as well, so I figured I'll see how far it goes and then top up the greenhouse floor with whatever I have left.

More bells & whistles... 

Automatic vent openers

Fold-out potting bench with running water

Bushel basket from the local farm stand to hold all my veggies and herbs, plus suction cup hangers to stow my hat & apron.

Bins for potting soil, composted manure, seed-starting medium, and whatever else.

Wireless thermometer
