The house has a long concrete side area that gets a few hours of sun each day due to the shadow of the house. Around 1.5 meters wide.

 

I'd like to use it for something else than where we park our scooters and store the clothes hangers etc.

 

 

 

I'm thinking of buying a few of these to line up along it.

 

They would get a few hours of sun each day, then be in the shade for the rest of it, but obviously getting the heat etc.

 

They would need concrete blocks or something to anchor them down so they don't blow over during storms.

 

Placing in plastic trays with soil etc, what vegetables and herbs etc could be grown?

 

Lettuce? Chilies? Basil? Mint? Tomatoes? Potatoes? Coriander? etc etc

 

The veg and herbs in each particular unit requiring the same amount of water each day would make it easier.  

 

TIA. 

the tiny moveable greenhouse is not good for growing any herbs or plants you mentioned, coz it used for nursery or seedling only. so i recommend to use the concrete block or clay brick, line it up 75 cm width 1.5 m long  and 30 - 45cm depth. then you can grow all plants you mentioned, much better than growing in that mini greenhouse.

I ended up ordering a bigger one.

 

This one, to be exact.

 

 

 

Will it be more suitable for growing herbs?

 

Coriander, basil, mint and maybe some lettuce.

 

 

They should have 30cm of soil depth?

 

TIA.

now it's look better but again you need a plot, a big one with 15-30cm depth for growing herbs. but those herbs need more sunlight, but you can try put some plots under that mini greenhouse and leave another one outside, both way plants will be doing okay but outside the greenhouse will grow faster and tastier. lets try it out. 

In shadow most of the time, it might be possible to grow mushrooms.

Do you think it's better to keep the cover on, so they are protected from the elements (the rare torrential downpour etc) and bugs and animals and high gusts of storm win, on occasion.

 

Or is better to leave them all uncovered, so they get more daylight and real sun exposure?

 

TIA.

you said earlier that the area where you r going to plant the herb is only explored to the sunlight only few hours so i think that is good enough for the plant to get sunlight. So i don't think it will be good if you just keep them under the shade all the time. i'm not an expert on all the plant you wanna grow, but i have seen in my garden that leaving it outside the shade for few hours a day is better.
