Using a Fish Tank for a Mini Greenhouse

This is a quick Survival Podcast video to show you the effects of using a
fish tank as a mini greenhouse on the growth of lettuce. The plants you are
looking at were all planted about 4 weeks ago. Despite a few nights with
single digit temps all the plants survived but notice the difference in
growth rates.

Excellent idea. How did you keep FAE in check?

@HigherPlanes - Not sure what you are asking? FAE?

I have this set up on the back of my desk too! I keep succulents inside in jars! This was helpful, it's making me think to pan my soil and transplant in some of my lettuce too, good tips

Since you don't need a "new" aquarium that doesn't leak, you can check out thrift stores like Arc and Goodwill and watch garage sales to get them cheap.

@survivalpodcasting Oh sorry, fresh air exchange. I was curious how long you can keep the plants in that enclosure before fresh air is an issue.
