Greenhouse Growing

Hi @Fizzy whereabouts are you? Someone on here might want the old one.

Hi John As long as we dont go sub zero for a week with zero sunshine in the daytime it`ll stay above freezing. The emphasis is more on cooling in summer for me than heating in the dead of winter as i dont keep tender or tropical plants. Its important to mention that the plants themselves are a...

Hi icom and welcome to the forum - I hope you are still with us. I am afraid I have only just seen your post.Was the water container higher than the tray? If it was the capillary matting would make the water siphon out from the higher level to the lower level, in exactly the same way as a...

About 1.5 to 2 metres up and 1 to 1.5 across. Hardy in a mild winter.

LOL I like a bit of danger

Good luck on your first greenhouse!

You're welcome.

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
