Greenhouse Growing

Personally I think it is more a sign of very humid conditions. Probably lots of leaf growth and not much air movement.And we all know what that can cause.

Awesome!!

Have you looked at bathroom/shower extract fans? N.B. the over-run timer might need reducing.For example £13 on clearance at Wickes Wickes Extractor Fan with Timer 100mm | Wickes.co.uk

imo nutri grow A + B is a harsh chemical fertilizer and if you use it as you are suggesting you will burn your plants, you already have FBB in your compost, are the plants showing any deficiencies. If not why do you want to add a chemical feed that may destroy friendly bacteria and upset the...

Look at the difference the first pic was from 13 June and the second was 12 April

Maybe replace the more vulnerable areas such as the lower glass with acrylic sheets: I've used this stuff from Wickes: Wickes Durable Acrylic Sheet 90cmx1.8m | Wickes.co.ukYou need to buy the cutting/scoring tool if you are going to cut yourself, otherwise I see you can buy it cut to size...

Tidy! Room for a beer fridge!I took more time this year to move things out of the greenhouses. Items I only use in the startup time each spring.I mostly have shelves attached to the framework but they are shallow and really mostly only practical for fans and tools. In addition I do have a...

Had to remove a lot of it as it was crumbling everywhere. The big bits at the side were the good bits.Does the insulation keep it cooler?! Was wondering about putting that white wash stuff on the glass instead??

I water every day and feed once a week when setting fruit, but increase to twice a week when heavily fruiting. I also cut the end off a milk carton and sink it in the ground next to the plant and water through this. This is especially good for cucumbers so that the stem doesn't rot which is...

@HarryS , bought two more planters today Harry

We've watered all our plants for sale, except edibles, with Vine Weevil killer. A couple of thousand of them

I've had a thought? I was advised to tap my tomato flowers, do I do the same with the cucumber flowers??? My only worry is will I have long red cylindrical shaped tomato and round cucumbers if they cross pollinate :rasp:

I just received an "Alert" to this thread. Weird. But a good reminder to say that I planted mine out the other day. And I told them, "suck it up". I told them that kindly ... but with emphasis on the do or die statement. So far all has been great and I live in Canada so that's a statement...

We all get impatient. Took me years to learn to take my time and not rush things.

Will all your requirements , sounds like you need to commission a custom unit.If you search the web you will find some smaller commercial units like this one that might be adapatable, though doubtless expensive. Greenhouse Controller - BWI Grower Technical SalesYou might find some diyers who...

It's the one type of connector that I will never use, probably because it's the type that came apart, [literally], in my hand many years and burnt my palm and fingers to the bone leaving scars to the shape of the connector in my left hand that I bear today.

Mr strawbridge`s design isnt effective, physics/thermodynamics dont seem to be his strong point The performance of a system is related to how long the "entire" greenhouse air volume spends underground. This shouldnt be confused with how long the air spends underground. Conventional wisdom...

I started with one greenhouse from the greenhouse people and just added another one onto the door end and filled the 2" gap with polycarbonate sheet, rgds sandy

You should be able to calculate roughly how much heat you`ll need based on your dome dimensions and in/out temperature difference. It looks like you have roughly 600 ft2 of surface area, 1930 ft3 of volume and a 61ft perimeter. I personally wouldnt encase the timber frame between the inner and...

A clever idea.
