Mud Hub Greenhouses make growing food easy & fun by putting you in control of your garden
Mud Hub Greenhouses make growing food easy & fun by putting you in control of your garden
Mud Hub Greenhouses is dedicated and always seeking ways to provide a durable protected garden environment for growing vegetables, herbs, flowers or vegetation in general. We expand the growing season by offering covers and features that meet all weather conditions year-round.
Mud Hub’s service does not stop at selling greenhouses.
As Master Gardeners, we serve as a valuable gardening resource for our clients and online visitors by providing useful materials related to all aspects of gardening, with the most up-to-date information we can find.
Our structures are self-supporting and do not need building permits. Interested parties should check with HOA’s for allowability before proceeding.
Raised beds are included in Mud Hub Greenhouse “Dine-In” kits, as a gardening aid and anchor to the structural system.
Mud Hub Greenhouses allow summer rains to nourish crops without removing a cover that also protects from rabbits, deer, squirrels and other creatures of the wild
Raised beds are topped with sturdy benches to sit on, stand on and garden on. The ability to work, dine or entertain make Mud Hub Greenhouses the perfect outdoor space.
Greenhouse covers easily transform your garden from summer to winter in 2 minutes
Shade cloth overhead is a standard feature in all of our greenhouses to reduce the impact of mid-day evaporation on plants
The Mud Hub Greenhouse design lends flexibility when incorporating systems such as aquaponics & hydroponics
Mud Hub completed the installation of a pair of 12 x 20 greenhouses in Mineolia, Texas in August 2018. The owners are commercial aquaponics farmers, who adapted our greenhouses for their own use incorporating a variation of their aquaponics system. The project was successful and significant in that it was the first installation out-of-state for Mud Hub Greenhouses, demonstrating that unit components could be shipped to any site, regardless of location.
In spring 2018, Mud Hub Greenhouses was asked by Westwind Landscaping, of Albuquerque, to provide greenhouse components only & consultation. Westwind wanted to assemble one of our 12 x 20 units themselves for Albuquerque Public School System’s Career Enrichment Center.
We knew this was an imminent direction or step that had to be taken but had no idea how this was going to happen because we have always assembled units ourselves. Now we had to break it down in a format that others could understand and use.
This project prompted the writing of our Assembly Guide, which surprisingly was useful to them. Westwind followed it almost to a ‘t’ and needed very few clarifications. Now we could assist others in constructing Mud Hub Greenhouses and open up an assortment of flexible pricing options.
Mud Hub Greenhouses officially began doing business the day a scale model was displayed on a vendor table at a growers market one Saturday morning in 2017. We weren’t sure about the outcome.
So when people came by & asked what “those little herb garden kits” on the table were going for, we had to explain that they represented something bigger you could stand up in and grow vegetables, thus the challenge of offering something unexpected and new at a farmer’s market.
Yes, the model garnered a lot of interest. But the excitement of being asked to visit several sites after market closing, can’t be described. People were actually interested in purchasing a garden originally just intended for personal use.
We’ve come a long way since assembling the first ones, but that’s another story.
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.
