Greenhouse Growing

Magic Mushrooms, now your talking...........Could do with something to give me a boost (no not the Choc bar)

A leggy seedling is likely to be a light issue, I used deep root trainers for the first time this year and I really like them and they can be reused (with a bit of care I would imagine quite a few times) I like to recycle myself but I find ready made seed trays more efficient for me, you can get...

Relocate the greenhouse.

@Freddy I used a low flow irrigation line in my hobby greenhouse when I first set up and it was magic. Easy to fit, inexpensive and a fine mist spray. I've since tamen it out as there is lots of electrical going on.I'd be surprised if you couldn't find the same gear there because it is...

On that subject, if you need to set anything accurately into concrete, you want to build the frame first and *then* pour the concrete. The other option is to lay concrete with nothing set in it, and then drill appropriate holes for anchor bolts.

Thanks Sandy! I think I just wanted some reassurance that I wasn't going in a daft direction, but this discussion has confirmed that I'm not, and also brought in some new info that'll help me get the right accessories.Of course I had a look this morning and everything I was considering it out...

Nails in all four corners for the outside, and string for the inside.

Hello Darren,I'm impressed - looks good - and will have saved you a few quid over buying a new greenhouse.Greenhouses - really there for shelter from wind/bugs/bad weather - not so much to maintain an increased temperature - that's what hot houses are for - so what you have will do the job. ...

Ok so no outdoor space, can't say I know too much about growing out of season under glass, except I would avoid all brassicas indoors because they are unpleasantly smelly and will attract white fly. I would suggest herbs. Maybe your idea of watercress too but I have no experience with it...

@sandymac thank you! That is exactly what I wanted to know.

They look good, but assume they are outside and its just that the toms do not like it if the night time temp goes below 10c, which is happening with these clear nights, we recorded 2c last night.If you have any space at the bottom of the tent to put a trug or some buckets filled with water so...

In case helpful here's what I do when potting onI only use same-brand-and-size pots for everything, 'coz I have loads to do and it streamlines the process, but folk might be using Yogurt tubs and other cartons as pots all of different sizes. Principle is the same.I put a little compost in...

Its between my greenhouses - North side of the one in front as I was trying to avoid any direct sun. If the wind howls from East or West it would definitely go through that gap ...I have a an upturned plastic (mesh) crate, to allow some airflow (upwards) with the sensor on top, and then a...

Which Is why I'm trying "Flame" and "lakemont" outside, still waiting for a good crop.

@Kennyhicks that is lovely. Looks like there is scrim embedded in the plastic. Nice one!

Those colour lights would do my head in! I'll see whether the flower has opened more today - or whether it has decided it doesn't like this time of year.

You beat me to it @ricky101 !

It a good time to start sowing seeds like tomatoes ( they will need germinating on the windowsill first , then potting on into bigger pots , then into the greenhouse ) . If you're not confident yet buy some plug plants , garden centres have lots of young plants now .

@Paul4321 The 12*12 comes with 6 anchors. These are long bolts, about 9" long if I remember right, that are concreted in on soil and fasten to reinforced points on the base. On hard surfaces the reinforced points are bolted to the hard surface. In my case the base is hardcore and the bolts go...
