Greenhouse Growing

Shoulder length bob with a central tuft unless I can get it out.

Hi All,could you please give me your recommendations for a good cooling fan for my 8x6 greenhouse. Many thanks.Roy.

I drilled through each end of the greenhouse at the apex and the top of each side Fitted hooks, and then just use curtain wire (as in net curtains) Jack McH

All brilliant replies, thanks guys! I did think I was pushing my luck a bit but worth asking. Fern, we should compare new sheds! I'm trying to decide what colour to paint mine... Dark seeded beans are hardier - good to know. Stupid question but what is yellow mustard? Like you eat with...

Sorry hadn't read @Kleftiwallah post when I replied, don't read my post as a criticism of the earlier suggestion of N-S

I bought a similar 'blow-away' 3 years ago (a hexagonal shaped one) from B&M for £25, I bought some pipe clips the same size as the tubing and screwed it down to the concrete that it was on and i also put up a piece of wood in the centre to make it more stable. It never moved an inch in 3...

I've only seen chains on massive sashes in commercial buildings, these days you can get nylon cord, it lasts longer and is much stronger than the old stuff.

Came across this:@Paladin may have a view on it

Can only find the more expensive product on the Bio Green website, so maybe the cheaper one is discontinued. I'd expect a digital control like that to be accurate to within 0.5C (spec is likely to be more vague, but in practice they are very good - I tested an array of 30 of similar solid state...

If you have borders in the tunnel, rather than solid floor, I would grow winter crops. We enjoy Chard - as Lea said. We don't get much in the way of a crop during the winter, but in the spring before the Tomatoes etc. are planted out we get loads from it.Lamsb Lettuce is another that should...

Expecting a knock on the door from Plod,the police Helicopter was hovering directly overhead looking at my bright greenhouse.Weeds I'm not into.ha ha

Looking forward to March the 20th next year Steve sounds like you got a bargain there, have you considered Cuprinol DucksBack?Only I done our garden fence with the stuff about 8 years ago, and whilst it has faded in some places, in others (I guess where the sun doesn't shine so much) its...

£500? Blimey Roy, mines only £100 a year Like the trough b.t.w.

Well they've opened 1 inch at 66 f ha ha

Ha ha,my chillies and carrots are in.So please as now I have the electric in,start the insulated floor tomorrow.

The trick is to keep cutting them when they get large enough, if you leave them on the plant too long the newer ones tend to stop forming and usually go yellow and possibly rot. Its better to pick them young rather than leave them on the plant.

I'll be interested to hear any suggestions on this topic too, Kyle: good question. Anyone?

"you should have bought bigger" I scream ... Biggest problem with small greenhouses is the heat gain - when the sun comes out the temperature will sore - and if its on a day when you are not around the plants will suffer. Small enclosures will provide no temperature gain over outside...

The main benefit of aeroponics is in the rapid, abundant root growth and the type of roots it produces. All things being equal, environment wise, an aeroponic plant will generate a more efficient root system in less time using less resources. The time and energy saved can be put to good use in...

I'd go for the metal ones - you could always drill some holes into the flat surfaces for drainage if needed; if you do drill them, a tin of silver Hammerite and a cotton bud is your friend - just dip and run round the inside of the hole to seal the metal
