Greenhouse Growing

I use sticky yellow cards in greenhouse and polytunnel. They don't completely eliminate the pest but do reduce it quite a bit. You have to keep them quite close to your plants.

Or an electric fencer with the wire 1" below the top so as to prevent it getting cats but within the area that would be griped!

Once the light becomes dispersed it will bounce off everything, much more so than direct light. So you get it coming from all directions. That is why on a cloudy day you don't get such deep shadows as you do on a bright sunny day. The light gets dispersed as it comes through the cloud layer and...

I think I'd try some of the more tropical passion flowers, but as you probably know they would need to be a fair distance from the actual glass, with good ventilation between the foliage and the glass. If the winter temperatures in the greenhouse are reasonable it would be a good chance to try...

Nice photo there Walnut and that seems a much better idea than using a trellis to 'hide' the greenhouse behind which would of course take away some light which is not ideal...so pots are the way to go! Helen.xxx.

I'm envious - wish I could fit a chair in mine!The clothes rail is a great idea! - I have one in the loft which I'll dig out and put in the lean-to. Marley I think we're referring to something like this with a shelf at the bottom.

Maybe should get veggies in pot as there will be a shortage and high prices.As you can see have a smaller greenhouse behind.

Hi Walnut no not sleeping just keeping my plants cosy this will be for next season as now I am self employed as a Lady Gardner also have orders for hanging baskets so this will be a place to keep them before I pass them to their owners to tend to.My husband will be doing the electrics in...

When I bought my greenhouse 2 years ago, I was aware of the advice 'get a bigger one than you think you'll need' but mine is still too small, so I'd say get as big a green house as you can find room for. Then decide whether you want to spend a lot of money or just go for the most basic. I...

Cor, that's a good idea, Peter.

I bought two similar ones from a garden centre (mesh reinforced, �£50 each). They do need anchoring down and both have suffered from wind damage where the seams have pulled apart near the velcro points. I bought them because I have to raise my old greenhouse to stop it getting flooded in the...

Hi John,Mine were planted straight into the raised beds and are doing fine.

Liz said --------------------------------------------- I have no intention of scrubbing out the greenhouse, I'll give the bits I can reach a good clean. Does everybody go to these lengths every Autumn? ---------------------------------------------Although we used to do it we haven't done it...

I know of someone who goes to ASDA and raid the bins for bubble plastic and cardboard.

Slabs used was 1 pack of 20 off O.6m sq. (23.5") standard grey paving (Jewsons, also got a tonne bag of sand delivered which left a bit over). For the dry cement mix I got a couple of bags of cement from Focus and used a 5:1 mix. Shop around though because prices differ quit dramatically.The...
