Greenhouse Growing

Genius!

See my ingredients molasses is black treacle Reds sandy

@WeeTam Rhino call them "roof vent bungs R92/55." Unfortunately that doesn't help much as I have no idea where to get them for a Robinson's greenhouse

Hi,First thing, what make of greenhouse are you getting and are you purchasing their Base, sometimes offered as standard or as an extra; either way essential in our book, it also adds extra height to the structure,As @JWK says it needs to be properly anchored using the ground spikes than...

Meh……18” will be enough, i dont want them huge, only two of us in the house

Have you got flowers yet @Sargan ?

Looks like you made a great job of the paving. Good on you and enjoy it. How lovely you have a nice outlook behind your garden instead of houses too.

One side of my greenhouse is 10mm twin wall polycarbonate. I think this does actually give a small measure of insulation.However cold its been outside in the last 30 yrs or so that side has never frozen with a heater just keeping the greenhouse frost free. The glass side regularly freezes on...

All healthy looking plants too.

Oh really, Close it at night, okay thanks @pete will do. Guess that will stop the slugs too !!

I have recently acquired one of these and have absolutely no idea how to replace the wick or even control the flame. The knob mechanism does not turn and it doesn't look like like anything else I can find online. Also, the wich housing part is held in with one screw and 2 x rivets. Any...

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...

Hi,As mentioned in the previous entry we have a 4x2ft enclosure for our orchids ,half of which is now turned over to propagation of flowers etc.Its lid is currently pulled opened via a string from the greenhouses auto roof vent, but that can be rather slow to react and the temp in the...

Hi Nigel thanks for the advice, I have checked and it is as square as I can get it, its not 100% but its not bad, i think the wind may have got in by the overlap on the glass and ripped it out, fingers crossed I have it sorted, I have read some where that using glazing tape across the over lap...

Why worry about the small stuff when Fukushima's going to poison the planet anyway ? Sad but true
