Greenhouse Growing

It will only be available to the commercial sector, its called, Tracer insecticide.Tracer Insecticide 500ml (fargro.co.uk)

I wonder if there is any reason why they are not more commonplace? No overlap joint = no gunk getting between the panes, and a tight fit against the frame all the way around - good for winter insulation / reduced draughts More expensive if a pane breaks, but IME (touch wood!) that's a rare...

Nison produce a small range of polycarb greenhouses and the buget one has 10 year guarantee whilst the top grade has 15 year guarantee so pick your budget for the size and type of greenhouse you want to purchase. If your only starting out there are many cheapy ones and even secondhand ones...

It would be a shock hazard as it wasnt designed for greenhouse use :wink:

Good idea Deegee.

i got my greenhouse from freecycle loopy

Cheers, I'll have a go at hand-pollination, then (goes to google). May have more questions later about what I'm doing with that, but fortunately it's only in bud at the moment, so I think I have a while before it blossoms fully. I'm already leaving the greenhouse door open by day, and sometimes...

Little update. I have good growth on all my seeds .planted some Indian chillies, red carribean chillies,green frenk chillies, padron peppers and then some lemon basil and lemon grass. All a good height now so I’m going to repot them the next couple of days and leave out of the propagator on a...

I just received an "Alert" to this thread. Weird. But a good reminder to say that I planted mine out the other day. And I told them, "suck it up". I told them that kindly ... but with emphasis on the do or die statement. So far all has been great and I live in Canada so that's a statement...

Silicone is the only best solution and application should be when the sheets are dry. This is the problem with poly but the heat retention is far better than glass.

Hello and welcome to the forum Your squash look the worst, I wouldn't worry if it's only the lower leaves, but if it's the whole plant then it may be sun scorch. Have you got any shading on your greenhouse?The tomatoes look like they have magnesium deficiency.This often happens just when...

Thanks all. I was only growing in greenhouse in case they don't grow well outside in the North East as its not as hot at the South.

How many of you recommend twin wall polycarbonate in the winter? We use it in our greenhouse and have great results, there's another thread on here about the possible advantages of plastic greenhouse panels:

Thanks guys. I probably wouldn't buy mail order (for the reasons you mentions!), but I like to look at the pictures to get an idea of what i want.I really need to try to measure the garden properly so i can get a better idea of what will fit in that space without me losing too much garden. I...

Looking to buy my seeds for next year Any particular seller use .... that provides good viable type true seeds.

Don't forget you will probably need to dig the soil out every year or so and replace it, to stop pest/disease build-up and nutrient deficiency.

Crops:Dwarf (or even climbing, bit more of a pain though) French beans, Swiss Chard. Too late to sow seed though, so you would need to find plants at the garden centreWinter varieties of Lettuce (I never do well with that) you could sow. I would't buy plants unless you are sure that they are...

thanks everyone, didn't get the time to read your posts before I left (mad rush!) but I did take the trays out and came back to some lettuce sprouts! luckily my wormery which had to be taken out of the shed for the same reasons (heat) didn't get flooded so all is well

It's the one type of connector that I will never use, probably because it's the type that came apart, [literally], in my hand many years and burnt my palm and fingers to the bone leaving scars to the shape of the connector in my left hand that I bear today.
