Starting seeds indoors can be a challenge. Maintaining a warm environment with sufficient humidity isn’t always easy. That’s when a mini-indoor greenhouse garden is called for. Sure, you can purchase one from a variety of sources, but a DIY mini greenhouse is so much more fun and a worthwhile project in the dead of winter. Read on to learn how to make a mini greenhouse indoors.

A mini greenhouse indoors is great at creating and maintaining the perfect microclimate for starting seeds before spring. This greenhouse garden for indoors can also be used to cultivate houseplants, force bubs, propagate succulents, or grow salad greens and herbs – anytime. There are lots of indoor greenhouse gardens for sale from elaborate Victorian era versions to simpler boxed sets. Or you can opt for a DIY project. Creating your own mini greenhouse can often be put together inexpensively to free from whatever items you have on hand.

How to Make a Mini Greenhouse

If you are handy or know someone who is, your indoor greenhouse can be made from wood and glass; but if you don’t think you are up to cutting, drilling, etc. these materials, we have some simple (literally anyone can do them) DIY mini greenhouse ideas here. For those who want to make an indoor greenhouse garden on the cheap, try repurposing. A mini-indoor greenhouse can be created from cardboard egg containers, for example. Just fill each depression with soil or soilless mix, plant seeds, moisten and cover with plastic wrap. Voila, a super simple greenhouse. Other simple DIY ideas involve using yogurt cups, clear salad containers, clear containers such as those a precooked chicken comes in, or really any clear plastic food container that can be covered. Clear plastic sheeting or bags can also easily be turned into simple versions of indoor mini greenhouses. Use skewers or twigs for supports, cover with plastic, and then tuck the plastic in around the bottom of the structure to keep the heat and moisture in. Beyond repurposing stuff you already have, for just a little over $10 (courtesy of your local dollar store), you can create a simple DIY mini greenhouse. The dollar store is a fabulous place to get inexpensive project materials. This greenhouse project uses eight picture frames to create a slanted roof and walls. It can be painted white for continuity and all it takes to put it together is white duct tape and a hot glue gun. Along the same lines, but probably pricier unless you have them lying around, is to make your indoor greenhouse with storm or small casement windows.

Really, creating a mini-DIY greenhouse can be as easy or complex and as expensive or cheap as you want to go. Or, of course, you can just go out and buy one, but where’s the fun in that?

Would a body decompose in a septic tank?

Septic tanks are pumped every few years, and the bones would not decompose. The body may or may not decompose in a septic tank. A containment tank using lye or acids can accomplish destruction of a body in about 50 hours or less, especially if combined with heat.

Let's go back to the original question and ask what the poster hopes to accomplish. But any sort of sealed system means that nature's scavengers can't get at the body. That slows the process down markedly. A septic system would probably take longer than just leaving the body outside. On the other hand, using an outhouse is a classic solution to a body. The pit can be rather deep, and nobody is going to want to go looking. Basically the pit is a cesspit. Cesspits, depending upon local regulations, may or may not have to be pumped out. Septic tanks are pumped every few years, and the bones would not decompose. The body may or may not decompose in a septic tank. A containment tank using lye or acids can accomplish destruction of a body in about 50 hours or less, especially if combined with heat. Lye is better than acids as it tends to be faster and less regulated. But you won't end up with much, if any, of a skeleton. Everything turns into sort of a mush. So the question is whether the idea is to hide the body or destroy the body. And then the question becomes how far you're willing to go to destroy the body.
