Greenhouse Growing

You could just lay some sleepers on the ground and screw it to them. But you will have to watch the height. There is nothing to stop you digging down several inches inside the sleepers to give you more head room. Just make sure it is not in a place where it could fill up with water.

If they are old wooden houses then I'd continue with the linseed oil paint as the oil will have permeated the wood and it may react with more modern paints.If replacing rotten wood then I personally use pressure treated preserved timber, paint it with 2 coats of International Bare Wood Primer...

we use gas heaters in our smaller greenhouses, propane gas, not too expensive and carbon monoxide isn't a problem. we also use oil fired space heaters in our vineries, but thats on a completely different scale. only thing i will say is with an electric fan heater why pay all that money heating...

I think the large bubble lets a bit more light through, but thats just a guess.

i d tend to leave them alone, they will go out in spring frogs have smooth skin toads are warty

That's what I like to hear, grabbed the bull by the horns then.... If you find certain things don't grow you can specialise in different plants... :confused: I grow lots of different plants now from when I first started. You know there are allot of plants that are perfectly happy...

How about the Colemans double flourescent tube rechargeable lantern. That should give quite sufficient light for what you want and with a carrying handle, its easy to move around. You can get it on line in the UK - unfortunately I don't have the link - its a big outdoor activity supplier - and...

Just been on the norfolk-greenhouse site and i am considering buying either the ultimate pop 6 or the juniour 4 and was wondering whether jomack is satisfied with his purchase or anyone else who has had any dealings with this type of greenhouse. much appreciated,

Note to self - get a greenhouse!

Bubbly if you dont have much spare cash (like me) try looking in the yellow advertiser for a greenhouse.We got ours for �£40 and just cleaned it up with jays fluid.The paper costs �£1.60 at the news agent or you can read it on internet at www.adtrader.co.uk. Good Luck.

Dont think carnivorous plants can really be considered as a way of keeping down greenhouse pests Jaxom, although they are pretty interesting plants to grow. For a cold greenhouse you could try sarracenia, most are hardy, I grow mine outside, but they are better under glass. Also some of the...

mmm! charming little things, thanks sewer rat and steveW

Sorry Otto, message rather than poll. Concrete floor will cause a problem with drainage, however a raised bed could work on top - but you would need to change the compost each year if you don't want to get a build up of greenhouse pests. Growbags and staging with plunge beds could be better.

Yes you can buy seed in this country, but its best to wait till early spring now.

Only an hour and a half to erect. Thats quick. Its only taken since May to get this far with my tiddler.Nik

http://www.defenders.co.uk/ I get mine from here,its all pretty interesting really, but you must ID the pest for sure before you buy.
