Greenhouse advice for small back deck
Hi! My husband and I currently live in a small townhouse with a small private back deck. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge on trying to create a small sized greenhouse? We tried growing herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, etc last spring/summer and we had issues with outside cats around the neighborhood urinating and killing the plants. Thank you in advance for your help!

Re: Greenhouse advice for small back deck
Gardener Supply has several and some small enough for a deck, but they are pricey.

Grower's Supply also has some small ones that are cheaper.

I've never used any of these, so I don't know how well they work.
You could just try putting some netting over your plants to keep the cats out or getting the little spike things that stick up and annoy the cats. I've put chili pepper in my beds to keep animals away, but it can burn their eyes.
This might be a little small, but could work for some items...
