Underground Greenhouse Tutorial For Year-Round Gardening

by

underground

Do you like gardening, but tend to go into a winter depression because you can’t enjoy those fresh fruits and veggies during those few cold months of the year?  An underground greenhouse, or walipini, may be the option for you.  This post will show you a video tutorial on just how to build one of your own.  That way you can be growing your harvest year round, and enjoying fresh veggies while everyone else is using up their canned food storage (or buying foreign).

While the instructions leave you with a fairly large greenhouse, you could easily downsize and make it work for the space you have.  What do you think?  Is this something you would want to have?

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.

What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.

This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.

I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
