Greenhouse Growing

And thy have the added benefit of weighing the greenhouse down in windy weather. Haha!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Savant, it's not so much the shade they need as coolness, cool with bright ( but not direct sun) light.

Heat in the greenhouse soil tends to radiate out into the surrounding ground, a degree or two of bottom heat can make a big difference at this time of year.

Sorry, I don't keep a check. I work on the basis that if it works and I don't lose the plants it's cheap enough!I like the tubular one because the heat permeates around but I feel (maybe I'm wrong) that I have to be more careful with the fan because I think there may be a less even...

Currently only got konjac and bulbifer. I had stipitatus but lost it a couple of years ago.

They go in mine but don't come out

Thank you all so much. I will put them outside and keep an eye on them

Thanks Charlie, I will see how it goes.

Thanks Pete, I will start hardening them off now.

The coolnets are pretty good at 60psi. They put out more of a fine mist than a fog so they need to be mounted high up and ideally controlled by a cycle timer which allow for very short misting durations.. It would be hard to attach them directly to standard garden hose due to the odd base...

Started indoors, walked to the greenhouse and placed on staging, then put in a heated propagator, and finally brought back indoors to download data.After tonight I'll know what happens to temperatures in a polytunnel overnight, then I can check stuff like inside coldframes, under fleece, in...

Hello and welcome to the forum Russfire I use a low pressure drip system fed from a water butt, bought from this company:I bought extra bits to extend the basic £20 set for two greenhouses and some outdoor plants. I like this company, I've seen them demonstrate their products at garden...

Hi how about a poly tunnel regds Alex

Thank you, I'll make sure to do that. - Just been to Lidl.....they're £8.99 there so I like mine even more now.

There are plug and play versions now. Mine was a little complicated to install, what with having to assign a port on the wireless router.

This might sound daft, have you tried Ebay ? You could have a look on Two Wests and Elliot website they sell all gardening stuff

Cor, @JWK you only got a Thermo 1, I've got a Thermo 2 ! (with extra cooling function, bought from same place). Great bit of kit.

Oh my goodness yes, I used to grow Phacelia in the uk and loved it - anything to attract insects and other wildlife. I also had a small collection of Hedychiums but they didn't survive my neglect after we moved.... Do you keep them in pots and move them in overwinter, or in the ground and cover...

It's unlikely the brick wall will hold the heat where as a house wall does to a certain extent, having the inside heat as a back up to keep the cold at bay.

Yes I think I was a bit quick off the mark with the sowing. Afterall theres still a risk of frost at night. I will have to rethink. Thanks Pete.
