Over-The-Row Greenhouse Gives Gardens A Head Start FARM HOME Food 26-4-13 If your tomatoes or other favorite garden vegetables were a little slow getting started this year, you might try a "Zip House" over-the-row greenhouse next year.
Temple Products of McGehee, Arkansas, describes its Zip House as a tunnel-shaped, double-layered thermal plastic barrier with plastic ribs to force the sides apart. When laid out over a row of plants, it creates a row-sized greenhouse.
The mini greenhouse is sold in 500-ft. rolls for commercial use. For home gardeners, Temple Products packages the product in 25-ft. lengths.
It allows plants to be set out 2 to 6 weeks earlier, while protecting them from frost and wind. A drawstring-type closure at the top allows the plastic to be closed on cold nights, or opened wide for ventilation on warm days. Zip House takes only minutes to set up and it's reusable for two or three seasons.
Zip House is available direct from the company or through dealers. A version for home gardeners, called Early Grow, is sold in 25-ft. lengths for $30 at Lowe Home Improvement Centers.
