Yup...and I have my own little seed vault.
When "terminator seeds" destroy the growth of all crops...I'll still have my heirloom seeds safe & sound.

I bought them to see if they would grow. Obviously they won’t. I have had luck with those tomato rockets from Family Dollar store in the past though.NEVER buy seeds from a dollar store!

Gotta disagree with you on that one. Most GMO seeds harvested from the first crop won't re-grow. There's a reason for that. They aren't meant to. God knew what He was doing when He created his edible plants.There's nothing wrong with GMO seeds. In many cases they are far superior to the original plant.
PVC can't take the seasonal temperature fluctuations or the UV rays. It will crack and splinter.You can build one with PVC and Visqueen.
Lol, some bad news for ya seeds from gmo spread through the wind. Even if you use heirloom seeds you will not be able to prevent the spreading of those genetic to your crop. Good luck on building a green house some day. There is something deeply satisfying about growing and consuming your own crop.It seems a bit out of reach under the current economic circumstances but I hope to get a cabin in the wilderness some day soon and build my own greenhouse. I like the idea of growing my own veggies using natural, heirloom seeds. I never know if the veggies I buy in grocery stores are GMO or not. Many will say they're "non-GMO" but can I trust anything on today's food labels? Not sure.
In the meantime, I have seen some interesting ways of growing vegetable in a small, cramped space:

The Asian carp is from Asia. Yet it is here.If you are strategically located you can.
I'm in the first ring burbs...1 mile (as the crow files) from Minneapolis. Ain't no corn fields anywhere near me.

The PVC one is quick and cheap while he works on a grand one.PVC can't take the seasonal temperature fluctuations or the UV rays. It will crack and splinter.
What you want (if looking for something similar) is Electrical metal tubing AKA "EMT". It's lightweight and because of the zinc coating can generally withstand some moisture. (Painting helps more)
It might dent or bend but won't shatter if hit by a rock or tree branch. ½" ¾" and 1" sizes should be capable of doing all you will need to do with sufficient sturdiness to survive more than one season. The Visqueen is good....but I recommend getting non-UV blocking polycarbonate and/plexiglass. And be prepared to block some of the sun at times. (It can get too hot otherwise)
And don't forget that you will need fans for stalk strength. So power of some kind....windmill, waterwheel, or electricity.
It's yet another illegal immigrant.The Asian carp is from Asia. Yet it is here.
That's partially why I like the idea of a greenhouse. Temps, light, and humidity can be controlled to place the plants in optimum growing conditions. But I would buy my seeds from a reputable, anti-GMO grower who would sell guaranteed heirloom seeds.
Salt and plants? Euyul..Is it true that epsom salt works in the soil? I keep reading that online.

I built one once.It seems a bit out of reach under the current economic circumstances but I hope to get a cabin in the wilderness some day soon and build my own greenhouse.
