Greenhouse Growing

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

Im trying to set up a dripper irrigation system. Iv made a ring main around my greenhouse in 19mm supply pipe with 45x 4mm 1 meter length feed lines with adjustable drippers on the end. Iv used a filter and non-return valve. I'm using a 4000 ltr per hour pump the sicce multi 4000the problem...

Well done Roders. Its obviously a lot warmer down in Suffolk that it is up here. I was huddled over the fire. :D

I've put up two second hand greenhouse and would say it's well worth the extra little bit of hassle with replacing some W clips, bolts etc. ( all of which are available in garden centres). The saving in overall cost means you end up with a usable greenhouse at a quarter of the price, if it's not...

Hi dave, Many thanks for the useful comments and links. Much appreciated. Nick

Hi Nathan, 2 8x6s in my garden & 1 20fter up at the farm now.... The latter is really my S-i-Ls, but he has given it to me to run...... We are germinating what seems like a million trees but I know it's not.. These are for his tree nursery.. We have allot of special magnolias & other specialist...

Mine and my parsnips are frozen solid under a blanket of snow in my raised veggie bed.

Assuming you mean in beds in the greenhouse (i.e not containers) then I change mine every year, I've found that tomatoes don't do at all well grown in the same soil twice. I use a mixture of soil taken from another part of the veg patch mixed with lots of my home made compost. They won't do very...

Can anyone recommend a particular make?

No such thing as a stupid question - only stupid answers!:DI don't need A-frame trestles as my GH has low double brick walls at the sides and a floor to roof upen wooden frame in middle so I can use four long lengths of timber to support staging (which is old alloy 'trays' recovered from a...

Made by Vitax, you should be able to buy Bordeaux Mixture in any garden centre, however, if yours doesn't have any then, like just about everything else, it's available on Amazon!

Poisounous smoke! what was made of? Just think if that got into the wrong hands!

hi thanks eveyone , i found a glazier in dumfries who supplies safety gass at £13 .50 a sheet for 24" by 24" by 2mm so i've ordered a couple of panes there one for spare didn't fancy polycarbonate as i had a greenhouse yrs ago with the stuff and it ended up brittle and white rather have the...

PeterS has said it all. It's the gas not the connectors that cause the freeze and that won't happen to propane in Kent. Butane is a different kettle of fish entirely. I used to do a lot of camping and climbing in the Scottish highlands and while a small Camping Gaz (butane) stove was fine most...

Your greenhouse does look like a Halls one as yours looks identical to the one we had where we used to live.I have found this link that might be able to help you.Give them a ring or email them and tell them your plight and see what they can do for you. Good Luck and hope that you get the part...

Cheers Dave, will give it a (tentative) go in Spring, there was not too much to clean off this autumn so jeyes and hosepipe did it this time round.Steve...

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...
