Greenhouse Growing

My GH. Is a Halls cedarwood build. Purchased second hand in 1984. Replaced the roof glass with twin walled poly carbonate sheets some time back. The poly carb sheets have an alternative inside/outside presentation. Hopefully, I applied them to screen off uv rays. Internal insulation is via...

thanks for info

Hi jane Spiders are a good thing in the greenhouse I have loads every year I see spiders nests with hundreds of baby spiders, I never get problems with aphids. regards Alex

Don't have experience with a greenhouse but I have the use of a polytunnel on my allotment site, 2 years ago I had some really good beginners luck. The seed was "sugar baby" from lidl. Also managed to germinate some from a honey dew melon from asda..ended up, one had mildew, the other 2 just...

Thanks guys for your answers

On similar lines as @ricky101 if your channel is the same as mine you could use L shape brackets (or get some 3mm aluminium strip and bend yourself to fit) and drill through the glazing frame, bolt to the frame then a hole in the front of the bracket and you could use standard greenhouse brackets.

Harvested first tomatoes today 15th May two sungold and two gardeners delight regards Sandy

I'm no expert Paul but I would think early May. Just keep re potting the Tomatoes deeper in the next size pot.

I took a bottle back to our local supplier. It was about 17 years old, bought from the same shop. They honoured the exchange but the bottle was out of proof so would be scrapped.It was shell gas previously but is now flogas.

We all do it , every year, never learn... !!

Hi everyone I have an old halls greenhouse and the wind has blown the window frame out of where it hinges, it's happened before and I have to unscrew the autovent to tilt and slide it back in, is there any other way to slide it back in without unscrewing it?

You are right Lori - I've got a timer plug that I can set up. I actually put them on today 10-1 during the day as it is sooo grey and dull here.

Give these a try in the new year. MK City Glass Milton Keynes Glaziers

Why not have it ALL glass or glass substitute?

I bought my Green House from them, mazambo, and visited them on the small industrial site where they are. I found them to be really friendly and helpful and when building the Green House, with a friend of mine, I managed to break the last side pane of safety glass which crumbled into sugar like...

I use cells for virtually everything, either sowing directly into them (especially larger seeds) or pricking out seedlings into them and, rather than using pots or seed tray, I sow seeds for pricking out in individual/strips/blocks of cells from 40x, 24x & 15x trays, then I can snip off...

I unscrew the hexagonal threaded knobs that the pistons push onto, so the roof vents don't open, possibly letting in birds, horizontal rain, etc., in when I'm not checking it every day.

@kazzawazza is correct. The reaper is the hottest. Bhut jolokia (ghost pepper) is next. Ive been groweing both for a number of years.I also grow scotch bonnet, 7 pot yellow, choclate douglah, devil's tongue, red habanero, orange habanero, ring of fire and a couple of other kinds of...

I think it does work fine. The tomatoe shoots have grown very well and fast, along with othe plants I planted late, and are fruiting. Not sure if I will manage to see any ripe tomatoes, given they are outside, but the temperature is going up again and the sun is showing up, so perhaps I will.

Hi Greg CFirst of all, the terracotta pot heating idea I saw here is genius, bloody love it! I got another idea for heating without a mains supply though - a portable propane heater. I'm not sure if one would fit in there, I was having a look here: The Best Shed Heaters of 2018 - A...
