Greenhouse Growing

Mine too

You can sow Parsley in autumn, for it to grow (slowly) through winter.

I don't think you really want drippers then, one-per-pot, fiddly to set up and if one of them blocks then that plant won't get watered ... probably rather expensive too (although you would then have automated watering thereafter ...) You could put some capillary matting on the bench, and the...

Ah, sorry to hear that :(

Quite right. I was assuming that it was intended for 'normal' use. Toms and the like...

Nice plants Bilbo. On the Brug front, I'm tending to think its more to do with acclimatization to sunny outside conditions, its not been hot by any means this summer, in fact mine would, I'm sure have preferred more sun than they are getting. Now the Melianthus, I find always wilts in full...

The zonal variety can withstand fairly low temperatures but need shelter from hoar frost. We used to keep ours outside for a fair few years from the late 90s to 2008 by growing against a sheltered wall but they were killed in 2009. This winter many gardeners around here successfully...

Very nice! That will keep you busy for many many hours. Enjoy! Kayleigh

It's a shame that you can't smell it Sheal as it's delightful in that sense too!

I have read a post here (by Shiney perhaps?) about how much energy a heater uses, and how often it comes on etc. It varies from Winter to Winter, but in an average winter is really quite modest. The more you pay attention to insulation the less it will cost you though .... so go all-out on...

Hi, can any of you good people recommend a grape that i can grow in a greenhouse that ive just got. Im after one that wouldnt be the size of a triffid and can be grown in a large pot Many tks for any advice

How are you heating your greenhouse?

val i am sure you will be fine, i put this one up on my own last autumn and it is still standing i would agree that you have to make sure that the base is level and measure your diagonals to get your perfect corners, and l will await your pictures and your completed greenhouse will be...

OMG I didn't look at the date

Yeah, that would work, good idea

any pics of progress wiseoldowl?? would love to see it now I"m just gathering bits to have a go at a self build out of re/claimed stuff i fancy a diffrent type of project this year Only just bought a 2nd hand 6x4 But a Friend of mine in his 70s has offerd me a large Cactie Collection so...

Only just noticed this. There are a few "errors / misconceptions" (sorry if I am being pedantic) First RCD stands for Residual Current Device. It Doesn't "monitor" anything on the earth wire because that may have been cut. (lawnmower etc) It actually "monitors" both the Live and Neutral, its...

If the concrete 'ring is only 4 inches thick, this should cut down the cost and you could then plant in the soil or in containers inside the greenhouse. If the bricks have holes in them, place them on their sides to allow a breeze through your greenhouse as it is stagnant air that promotes...

That's the theoretical temp for cucs Freddy. Toms can stand it quite a bit lower but though low temps won't kill them they can set them back.

Nison produce a small range of polycarb greenhouses and the buget one has 10 year guarantee whilst the top grade has 15 year guarantee so pick your budget for the size and type of greenhouse you want to purchase. If your only starting out there are many cheapy ones and even secondhand ones...
