Greenhouse Growing

I'm glad someone said it because I just snorted cornflakes out of my nose when I read that! Thanks @NigelJ for brightening my morning!

I was thinking of small terracotta pots, it's the same thing though ...

Thanks Lori, we do have some small white leds strips and a proper led grow light but they are more suited to small areas, just thought this 30w floodlamp with is wide beam might work more to cover a 4 or 6ft bench. As you say anything better than nothing.

Ok, heat treated, sounds interesting.I didn't think that was you. but you knew that.Yes looks very expensive, but nice.Can I have the old one.

I dont think its banned in Britain anymore than washing up liquid is. You are not allowed to use either as a pesticide.

All our heaters ,eg Greenhouse and props are on digital control and the greenhouse min has always been set at 4c which seems to readily keep most things ticking over well, some even growing away. However think we will be taking it down to 1c or 2 c this winter. Just glad we have 10mm twinwall...

I've got some stuff that would probably sort them out but I never manage to spray all my plants at one time, there are just too many and it's not a pre mix so it's not really handy as such. I usually apply the meths with a small children's paint brush so as to get in all the cracks and crevices...

I avoid Elixir garden supplies like the plague received damaged order which they said they would replace but just messed me around until i gave up

Yup, @ricky101, that is it. It is wide enough to have nearly and each going up both side and I cut it a 1/2" too long so that I could squish the two sides together to make a total seal.

Mine were jammed this year and have been jammed in the past, so I added some lithium grease to all the moveable bits and the piston, that has done the trick. They are about 10 years old now

Thanks, might grow that one in a hanging basket to complement my similar-looking 'Mrs Popple', which is in a pot on my patio. Nick

Had chance to get the pressure washer out and gave a small panel a blast.Took some time to clean it all out but did work well as @pete mentioned. Think the water method would be better than an air compressor as it helps soften the residue.The new breather tape seem so much stronger than the...

For the sake of completeness, permission was granted for this subject/survey previously, so this is linked. Greenhouse focus group

WOW!! That is scary. So glad nobody was injured or worse.

I used to sow beetroot in cell trays for planting out in the ground. The idea is that you put two or three seeds in each cell. You don't need to thin multiple seeds because if they have enough room they just push one another away. Then you don't really thin them until some are big enough to eat.

I'm thinking on using an Eden gas heater or similar for next winter any using one I would be interested in comments

Trouble with a lot of folk is, they put down a base or expect the house to be exact. I have and always will allow for the base and a bit to ensure there is plenty of room for my houses. 8 x 8 allow for a bit more. Due to these being installed in metric, which would be 2.4m not 8 feet, I had put...

Not after the tidiest just putting the house together before it gets planted.

Thanks for the replies guys, I’ll get OH on it at the weekend
