Greenhouse Growing

You could just lay some sleepers on the ground and screw it to them. But you will have to watch the height. There is nothing to stop you digging down several inches inside the sleepers to give you more head room. Just make sure it is not in a place where it could fill up with water.

Appears as if the babies are born pregnant. I've seen this in some of my lost and found seed spuds and thought it really weird.

You don't need to have a base at all and can plant directly into the soil, this would also give you the option of whether or not you use raised beds. The soil would have to be changed from time to time because of lack of nutrients and possible diseases that may occur. Raised beds may give you...

Nice photo there Walnut and that seems a much better idea than using a trellis to 'hide' the greenhouse behind which would of course take away some light which is not ideal...so pots are the way to go! Helen.xxx.

Just keep them well watered and they will do fine.I notice you mention cucumbers too. I have had problems in the past with getting them started. They have a nasty habit of rotting off at the neck if you overwater them. When you plant them raise them up a bit onto a mound and dont overwater...

Hi John,Mine were planted straight into the raised beds and are doing fine.

Cor, @JWK you only got a Thermo 1, I've got a Thermo 2 ! (with extra cooling function, bought from same place). Great bit of kit.

Maybe use some bleach first (keep it away from plants of course!) - leave it for a couple of hours then use a hose or power washer (use on low setting).

I made up a set of free-standing staging from sawn timber from B&Q. That way you get it to fit your purpose.

Places like B&Q sell sheets or this company,

If we are talking dead cheap then get to one of those instore places or wilkinsons-tenner each for a four tier.

I've quite a lot in the cold frame Dave. I don't have a greenhouse (don't want one) but I do have a large, heated conservatory. So between that, the cold frame and a great south facing wall I manage pretty well. In the cold frame I've quite a few Fuchsias, loads of pots of cuttings from plants I...

Auto openers are about £18 i think.Very useful and easy to fit.I also have a louvre window which I bought in B and Q. Cant recall the price but it seems quite a good one. Hope this helps

Have not posted any photos to of inside my greenhouse.

hi Dave. What sort of lettuce is that? Is it like Tom Thumb - hearted I mean. What about carrots?

Just been planting up containers still had some spare spring bulbs that had not been planted . Extra pots of Spring cheer but am now so cold frost lifted buy by its very cold.

I have always thought how expensive it is ... I got some Dexion (angle-iron) and some concrete reinforcing mesh (its a bit better than that as its either Aluminium and doesn't rust, or is powder-coated), but I wouldn't want to have to put-it-up and take-it-down too often!

As there are three copies of this thread can I direct replies here so we can keep a single main one going

All brilliant replies, thanks guys! I did think I was pushing my luck a bit but worth asking. Fern, we should compare new sheds! I'm trying to decide what colour to paint mine... Dark seeded beans are hardier - good to know. Stupid question but what is yellow mustard? Like you eat with...

These are outdoor bedding plants, so its best to keep an even cool temp and avoid fluctuations. During the day I'd aim to keep it below 20 dec C and not let it get below 10 deg at night.
