Starman, luck has very little to do with it. My greenhouse is seasonal and very cheap. I am saving my money, bidding my time, and working extra hours so that I can have a nice, permanent greenhouse when I retire. I have several terrariums, two growchambers and a large grow shelf (+ the take down greenhouse). The terrariums were purchased cheaply at garage sales, I built the chambers and the shelf. The cost was very minimal, it had to be.
Not luck, hard work and patience. Most of us that have chambers and greenhouses are adults and have worked many years to enjoy the small things we have. The young adults that have these things may have gotten them from their parents, but many have chosen to work hard to earn their own. They have turned away from normal youthful past times and decided to enjoy this hobby instead. Many youths and adults can not put much money into this hobby and patiently build on what they have. Those that have large greenhouses or greenhouse businesses have thrown themselves into this. They work very hard and pay-in a lot (money and sweat).
Where we are lucky, including you, is the countries in which we were born and raised. You are on a computer, talking to people across the world, so you are doing fine. You are not in a third world country striving to survive. Patience is truly a virtue. Relax and try not to envy. By the time you are my age I expect you to have more cool stuff then I can imagine. Things will come to you.
I was born in an over-sized low income family (politically correct
), you grow out of it. Work, save money and watch for give aways. Two of my largest terrariums came as a give away. You will make it.
The lowlands can wait awhile. Start elsewhere and build.
