-Greenhouses, if properly protected with screens and without gaps for pests to enter, can offer advantages in [[pest control]]. However, they can also offer favorable conditions for pests to flourish, if pests are allowed to establish themselves. [[Biological pest control]] may be a suitable solution.

-They may be built from many materials, including:

-* [[Plastic bottles]]: [[Miniature greenhouses from plastic bottles]] and [[Plastic bottle greenhouse]]
-* [[Cobb]]: [[Sequatchie Valley Institute cobb houses]]
-...although of course there must be a clear material (usually [[glass]] or [[clear plastic]] sheets) to allow in light and the sun's infrared rays.
