We covered nine 60ft x 30ft tunnels one summer with 5 people, the most important thing i`d say is to pick a warm day (not blazing sun) with no...
If you dont get an airtight seal on the bubblewrap the cold air will still get to the glass and it`ll be worthless as insulation :WINK1:
Bubblewrap needs to go on the inside as the additional "still air" gap between the glass and BW adds to the insulation value. Shade cloth goes on...
I wouldnt want to pay full price considering there`s less than 60p worth of chemicals in the box :)
From the root mat i`d say its probably NFT (nutrient film technique), a bit pricey at £1 but you do get a free pot.
Scrungee, the ones in the pic are from Garden Pearl, its a bush type. I`d take cuttings from the strongest, healthiest looking plants.
3-4 weeks if you put them in the fridge maybe, mine take 4-5 days on a SE facing windowsill. If they`re in flower they can take longer but what...
Putting them on their side is a good way to generate more sideshoots if you need more plants in a hurry :)
Leaf undersides turn purple, topside of leaves are super dark jade green perhaps with a definite tinge of blue? Its the cold weather affecting...

The good thing with "Sun Power" is its free and it`ll always be free, a 50ft x 50ft garden gets hit with 267kw every hour...thats what you call...
I`ll agree with that :) I dont see any sense heating the air in a greenhouse if the insulation value is almost nothing. You`re better off trying...
Rain water quality can be variable if you live near an industrial center, volcanic eruptions, ash clouds and other airbourn pollution can make a...
My basic £40 odd quid 3-stage r/o system takes my 500+ppm hardwater down to less than 10ppm, no sense shelling out more cash on a 4 or 5 stage...
Thats silly expensive and no good for tomatoes :) The npk ratio`s and price (£12/Litre!) suggest its marketed for a certain illicit plant species....
I think spreader mat would be a bit too thin. In asia they use jute/hessian on poly covered tressles with drip irrigation to grow baby lettuce...
I think its more about the PH and whats in the water Pete, flytraps like a PH of 5.5 and a tds less than 100ppm. Rain water is the easiest option...
I found Rosemary to be almost indestructable, my 4ft high x 4ft wide rosemary bush came from a packet of cut stems (reduced to clear in...
The budget stuff used to be reasonably good a few years back but now it seems to be full of old rope, lumps of wood and has dubious levels of...
Hi Jenny, Thanks for the welcome, i`ve been around GC for quite a while even though this username is fairly new. Figuring out nutrient problems...
