Greenhouse Growing

No such thing as a stupid question - only stupid answers!:DI don't need A-frame trestles as my GH has low double brick walls at the sides and a floor to roof upen wooden frame in middle so I can use four long lengths of timber to support staging (which is old alloy 'trays' recovered from a...

Made by Vitax, you should be able to buy Bordeaux Mixture in any garden centre, however, if yours doesn't have any then, like just about everything else, it's available on Amazon!

Poisounous smoke! what was made of? Just think if that got into the wrong hands!

hi thanks eveyone , i found a glazier in dumfries who supplies safety gass at £13 .50 a sheet for 24" by 24" by 2mm so i've ordered a couple of panes there one for spare didn't fancy polycarbonate as i had a greenhouse yrs ago with the stuff and it ended up brittle and white rather have the...

PeterS has said it all. It's the gas not the connectors that cause the freeze and that won't happen to propane in Kent. Butane is a different kettle of fish entirely. I used to do a lot of camping and climbing in the Scottish highlands and while a small Camping Gaz (butane) stove was fine most...

Your greenhouse does look like a Halls one as yours looks identical to the one we had where we used to live.I have found this link that might be able to help you.Give them a ring or email them and tell them your plight and see what they can do for you. Good Luck and hope that you get the part...

Cheers Dave, will give it a (tentative) go in Spring, there was not too much to clean off this autumn so jeyes and hosepipe did it this time round.Steve...

Crops:Dwarf (or even climbing, bit more of a pain though) French beans, Swiss Chard. Too late to sow seed though, so you would need to find plants at the garden centreWinter varieties of Lettuce (I never do well with that) you could sow. I would't buy plants unless you are sure that they are...

"would just a couple of french bean plants be the same"I have had Dwarf French beans that have sat there and done nothing (probably through lack of watering outside though) but when they have grown they crop surprisingly heavily for such a small guy!Half a dozen plants crops like a medium...

"Get the largest greenhouse you can afford/fit in, if you don't you will always wish had a bigger one. There is never enough greenhouse space."Plus, IMHO, it is much easier to keep a larger greenhouse cool in the Summer, than a small one.Cooling a small greenhouse involves throwing...

You have done well with your toms and cucs, you've proved me wrong by getting them to grow so well together in the same greenhouse, you must have green fingers :thumb:

" competition is fierce for 6x6 or 8x6"Yup, that's been my perception of greenhouses on eBay too.FWIW I hold the view that smaller greenhouses are hard to maintain "cooler" temperatures during the Summer months, so where ground space permits I would encourage folk to erect larger greenhouses...

Hi Kev. I had a look online and found these (you'll need to scroll down the page)Cheers...freddy.

Many thanks for your supportive post, and I do apologise if I appeared a bit petty, but I felt the first two replies to my thread were a bit rude and uncalled for, I belong to various forums and hadn't encountered a response like that to an unknown and fairly new poster, but no worries the 'Blue...

greenhousepeople, just google them and u will find them, i bought mine from them, great prices! mine is 10x8 and was under 400, and dont bother about the colour, just makes it more expensive, invest that money into a bigger one instead, and plastic is a no no for me!! 40x10 wow Kristen I want...

Hi busybee, I'm surprised no-one has replied so far, so thought I'd put in my two penn'orth. As you've only a mini greenhouse you'll want something 'cheap and cheerful' so for the pots I'd go for a bog standard cardboard box - depending on how many you've got of course, it could be anything...

The frame is the easy part of the job :wink:
