    New house, old greenhouse and brand new gardener.

    I have washed the greenhouse inside and out (cutting my fingers and thumb), got rid of the topsoil, and started growing (with varying success).

    I have no idea how much ventilation it needs, i have both skylights open on minimum, about an inch.

    So any advice on using the vents (one of which i need to fix somehow as the arm has detatched).

    I have put glass tape over the cracks, and patched a gap with tape and a polypocket cut down to size.

    So i guess any general greenhouse advice would be welcome aswell.

    Hi there Adam......Automatic vents for a start would be good....put them on your gift list:cool:
    Cracked glass is cheeply replaced with horticutral type or get toughened or poly which will cost more but will last.
    Good luck:thumb:
