Garden Equipment

1. Save on greenhouse watering costs by going straight to the source with a 50- or 60-gallon rain barrel. Even better, JustGreenhouses.com carries a wide selection of rain barrels made from 100% recycled plastic. For large greenhouses, we also offer 200+ gallon rainwater collection tanks made from commercial-grade polyethylene.

2. Few outdoor furniture pieces have to deal with the levels of soil, sun, and water that potting benches are exposed to on a daily basis. Fortunately our greenhouse potting benches are made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as cedar wood, recycled plastic, wrought iron, and steel.

3. Whether inside or out, planters add charming color and style to any greenhouse garden. They're also a practical way to give prominence to a favorite perennial, or exhibit a seasonal display of bright floral blooms. A copper or cedar wood garden planter makes for a lovely border or anchor.

4. Garden carts and wagons, and wheelbarrows are a must for carting around large pots, seedling boxes, fertilizer bags, etc. If you're purchasing a large greenhouse with enough interior room for a garden wheelbarrow, make sure that its door frame is wide enough for the wheelbarrow to pass through.

5. No greenhouse equipment inventory is complete without a proper assemblage of garden tools and a garden tool rack for storing them. Loppers, shears, pruners, trowels, weeders, and cultivators are just some of the greenhouse gardening tools you'll want to have at hand.

6. There's no more eco-friendly way to fertilize your greenhouse plants than with compost bins made from 100% recycled plastic. PVC resin is a durable material that won't rot or rust, and our compost bin designs make it easy to mix and access compost.

7. Raised garden beds are a durable, eco-friendly shortcut to creating premium soil conditions for your greenhouse plants. A raised garden bed allows for a deeper layer of topsoil and superb drainage, and its tiered or rectangular design helps to create a discrete, well-organized space for a vegetable garden or flower bed.

8. When selecting a potting bench, keep an eye out for little features that will make greenhouse life easier, such as wheels, tool slots/hooks, or multiple shelves and pull-out drawers. The work surface of your greenhouse potting bench should also be at a height that you can work comfortably at while standing.

9. If wheeling a wheelbarrow in and out of your greenhouse makes you feel like you're parallel parking an SUV, then you might be a perfect candidate for a garden cart with a removable bin or tub. Unlike wheelbarrows, these garden carts can be filled up separately and then snapped back on and wheeled away.

10. Compost tumblers offer several design benefits that traditional bins don't. Their rotating action eliminates the need for churning or stirring. They're also durable and affordable, and some feature animal-resistant locks and a frame that suspends the drum in the air to prevent rodent access.
