Greenhouse Growing

Silicone is the only best solution and application should be when the sheets are dry. This is the problem with poly but the heat retention is far better than glass.

Pick the time of year for purchasing your greenhouse as some months are better than others for good offers. At this moment many sellers of greenhouses and pollytunnels have some great offers on, including ourselves.

Hi, I have a small 4 tier one that just has a large piece of slate on the bottom and it hasn't moved in 3 years. My larger walk-in "blow-away" was re-inforced as described in this thread;

Thanks Jenny. It's true, we can't help but worry about the little things!

The bigger the greenhouse, the easier it is to control the greenhsoue (although if you leave it closed it will still cook :( but in Summer its hard to keep 6 x 4's cool, much easier with 12 x 10 and bigger. With smaller greenhouses yo can open door and vents, but all you are doing is creating...

I have bought quite a lot of stuff from Greenfingers they really are a useful site and they are always happy to put anything right that you are not happy with............

I'm lucky with the wooden base of my GH, it's teak that was once part of colliery headgear. It's probably now around 100 years old and there's no sign of rot. The same though can't be said for some parts of the wooden framework, it's about 25 years since I built it and has started to rot in...

The cylinder is pretty much the whole guts of the thing though, and their FAQ says the cylinders only last about 6-8 years. See: and search for: "I can see a viscous liquid leaking out of the tube. What is it?"

How about a black and white Chequerboard floor Woo.

I think if the bench ran N-S it would get light from both sides, so the things on the shelf would be better (but put them near the outside edges of the shelf, not in the middle of it) If the paint it white-ish I expect its splitting hairs to have pure white. I didn't really understand the...

I use Armilatox sold now as a cleaning agent.Any consolation I also put 10mm into a watering can when watering plants, have used this method for years with no ill effects.Trevor

I have always thought how expensive it is ... I got some Dexion (angle-iron) and some concrete reinforcing mesh (its a bit better than that as its either Aluminium and doesn't rust, or is powder-coated), but I wouldn't want to have to put-it-up and take-it-down too often!
