Meet Mud Hub
Founder Rod Gesten

Gardening has been my passion. Good gardening is no accident; it needs effort, not a lot, just consistent. Gardeners understand this.

I decided to develop Mud Hub Greenhouse kits for gardeners who were as frustrated as I once was in trying grow under adverse conditions. The motivations for creating my own greenhouse were tied to the things keeping me from growing successfully: intense sunlight, wind, dry weather, poor soil, garden pests and critters. 

Now that it’s possible to grow the freshest food possible all year in a controlled environment, I would like others to experience the same.
