Greenhouse Growing

I am looking for one to 8X6 Glass, i have been on ebay but the real baragins are at the end of the season they seem to go for like £80, this time of year they are going for 150-200 yes i know i am a bit thrifty but there is a recession on

Hi Jane, I have never had a greenhouse and only ever grown my plants outside or under the cover of a cold frame. I would love a greenhouse but as per normal santa never brings one to me:( I have space now and would use it, but not for roses. This has been outlined by 'shiney' but I would add...

Next frost forecast Tuesday here's hoping it aint as low as the last few days,the window sills are getting full now need to start putting more stuff outside in the greenhouse.

But you don't want the Gun and Silicone, so I've got to take them back now ...

concrete will set if covered the temps we are having are really quite mild around here.If cold temps are expected cover with polythene and then hay or staw and leave for longer than the normal 28 days to achieve complete cure. Nick as I said before if you need a hand give us a shout.

I like to think that is down to my expertise Steve.:yess:

Cheers Mad Mick Just googled and it seems to be the dogs ba Jack McH

Thank you Penny

You're not trying to tell us you are frozen into the Greenhouse are you Kat:snowdig:

I personally dont like grow bags laid flat as not enough root space,but they can be used on end cut in half. Large pots or in the ground with fresh compost is best IMHO

I'm not so sure it serves a good purpose, lazydog.:D A lot of novices would probably buy such a Green House as their very first one, particularly as they are cheaper. So when the plastic "windows" deteriorate and fail the novice ends up with the three "D's"........Disheartened, Discouraged,...

You have sold me 1 any way!!!! ive never grown anthing my self allways bought so i can have a Go my self this year I Am limated on space that will be just right for me as a starter thanks for the post and the link

I wondered about silicone Pal but wan't sure how it would stick to the polythene, might give it a try as I have some.

I did think to myself Sheal when i saw them should i pay out for one, by the time i've payed out for new covers every so often, would of been easier to buy a complete new one that will last

Spinach is another toughy that you might try btw. You need to have started it a few weeks ago though as its too late to sow anything from seed now.

I'm with you now, tried to picture it but kept coming up with a picture of a staircase by Escher in my head. Thats usually a bad thing in my case.

overall its 12ft by 10ftthe greenhouse was just an idea nothing definate, Boss lady would like to make more use of the space, we've never grew veg before so this will be our 1st time and will prob start next year, mainly because we have no idea where to start or what to do this year lol

It depends on how many plants you plan to grow and the amount of space you have. Personally I use a couple of cold frames, that's not enough for me in the spring.Now is a good time to buy this sort of thing, you might reget not having it next year

If its a Bayliss, you just need to unscrew the end nut until it comes off.Then the vent wont open, you can just leave the cylinder in place.
