Hi All.

What I would like to know is what do you recommend for the rest of the structure? Plastic? Glass?

i put plastic so i can remove in winter

I am interested in building a small greenhouse ...however my backyard has water pool in various areas on a regular basis.

I think when Hugelbeds were first used they were to make better use of low areas that would flood in spring.
You build a hill (up to 6ft) of dead wood, cover with soil. The south slope gets better sun exposure than a flat area, you're up out of the soggy soil( soil warms and dries faster) yet the wood soaks up water to be available all summer.

All you need is to sink some cedar (or maybe galvanized metal) posts in and build your greenhouse on that frame around each hugelmound.
Maybe lay more logs on the ground to hold the soil in and walk on if the water gets that deep.

As for glazing - look in your area for a door and window installer. It's hard to get rid of the ones they are replacing and you should have a large selection of real glass windows and glass patio doors, often in frames.

Ditto that.
For quite some time, my local window installers dumpsters have had video surveillance , because there are guys who smash the glass panels in and around the dumpsters just to get the aluminum frames for recycling....making a big mess!
So the installer companies are vigilant about anyone trespassing their area. It's advisable to just approach the owners and offer them a few bucks for each panel, i've found. Ive got about 40 now.Most times they give them free.
