Shape And Orientation

If you choose water features that have squared corners or straight edges, take particular care to angle them in such a way that the corners do not face a direction you spend a lot of time in. Sharp, straight edges and corners are a source of shar chi, which is a type of negative energy. Think of the straight edges as blades, slicing into the calm of your home. Either angle your water features to face out of corners, or else opt for a feature with an oval or circular shape. If not, at least look for a feature that has rounded edges instead of crisp ones.

Color

Water chi is typically associated with the colors blue and black. Other neutral colors are acceptable as well, but if you’re trying to achieve optimal Feng Shui with your interior design accessories, do not choose water features that are predominantly white or red. These colors will confuse the flow of water chi, as they are the representational opposite of what is typically considered to be water energy. While these colors make for beautiful fountains and are great for non Feng Shui purposes, red and white fountains and other types of features should be avoided by serious Feng Shui enthusiasts.

Feng Shui may seem like a difficult and esoteric art, but with the right information and the perfect interior design accessories, it’s actually not that difficult to set up your home, office, or other space for the best chi flow possible. Since water chi is typically associated with wealth and prosperity, you definitely don’t want to ignore the implications that the shape and color of your water feature may have on the effectiveness of your layout.

So where do you start. Building your own greenhouse will save you a lot of money too and you’ll save even more if you decide to go with a smaller one more specific to your needs. You need to identify just what those needs are. Is it to propagate and develop plants and vegetables or is it to create the ideal environment for your favorite orchids or roses? You’ll need to decide what you want it for and you’ll need to prepare a budget.

Why a budget? So you can keep track of things, that’s why. Look, you need to buy plans, supplies and materials and it’s wise to keep records of just what you’re spending your money on. You can reign it in at any time it starts looking cost excessive. It’s so much easier to stop your final finished cost blowing out that way.

Points to consider.
1. Think about using salvaged or second-hand materials specially if you’re planning on building a larger structure. What you save here can help pay for other things later on.
2. Take the local climate into consideration when choosing your design. An insulated greenhouse for cold climate areas or for warm areas you may need shade control.
3. Be sure you consider air circulation, ventilation, pest control, soil, heaters for winter and humidity control if required. You can create the perfect environment for your plants if you install the right equipment.
4. Choose it’s location wisely. Think about the needs of your plants. Do they need plenty of sunlight like vegetables or do they require subdued lighting instead like ferns would.
5. What covering material are you going to use? The most commonly used are glass or fibreglass. These are more durable than plastic coverings and don’t deteriorate quickly. A greenhouse covered with either of these provides more humidity and warmth, the drawback with fibreglass however is that it begins to breakdown after 6 or 7 years. Nowadays you have a far better material available, poly-carbonate sheet (bullet-proof plastic), it’s better than both glass and fibreglass and lasts for more than 25 years.
6. You also have a choice of foundations. You can go with concrete for a more secure structure or you could opt for a less expensive method like light-weight foundations, star steel posts or even railroad ties to anchor your structure.
7. Think about maximizing it’s full potential. Add benches and other accessories like automatic watering systems, heating or ventilation systems or other such equipment that would help you in maintaining your plants.
8. Just what pest control method are you going to use? Will it be organic; for instance, using good bugs to control the bad ones or would you opt for a chemical pesticide that you sprayed.
9. Where will you store your fertilizers, potting soil and all the tools you’ll be using in your greenhouse?
