Greenhouse Growing

I can imagine the difficulty, I probably wouldn't have the temperament to see it through :(

I bought a similar 'blow-away' 3 years ago (a hexagonal shaped one) from B&M for £25, I bought some pipe clips the same size as the tubing and screwed it down to the concrete that it was on and i also put up a piece of wood in the centre to make it more stable. It never moved an inch in 3...

I would have sworn that I posted a reply in here. It must be that preview button again.Anyway, thanks for the Papyrus ID. When I told 'Er indoors, who is the real gardener here, that peeps thought it was papyrus she replied"Oh good. I thought that was lost a few years ago. Never seen the...

Manufacturer ceased manufacture of 'Monarch Aluminium' greenhouses when Eden & Hall merged. I did contact them ... all I could get from them was 'new Monarch is a different design, no spares for previous model'

I've used this, but it takes a week or two to work, you just place it where you see the most activity, and leave it, just check the ants are eating it after a few days. Deadfast Ant Plus Bait Station - 3 x 4g | Wickes.co.uk

Ant traps have always worked for me, the bait jobs, I think it was Nippon... but yeah, we have got rid of an infestation within 48 hours in the house every time we use them. I heard they work how you put it Steve.

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...

Currently only got konjac and bulbifer. I had stipitatus but lost it a couple of years ago.

Hi folks. Slight change of plan I think.. keen to use the sleepers as I wanted a little extra height, and because I had them handy!As suggested I've lifted the slabs, and am considering digging the sleepers into the ground somewhat, and mounting onto them. Any suggestions on how to get the...

Pick the time of year for purchasing your greenhouse as some months are better than others for good offers. At this moment many sellers of greenhouses and pollytunnels have some great offers on, including ourselves.

I'm taking the slow path to building it and taking WOOs advice - several days and plenty of embrocation breaks to avoid frustration! Going OK so far and having the hard standing completed on Sunday...

Wow, on pauls website on the faq there is this "Did you know?All councils in England & Wales (with the exception of Inner London) have to, by law, provide allotments? Any group of adults over the age of 18 and registered on the electoral role can group together to request the council...

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...

Tidy! Room for a beer fridge!I took more time this year to move things out of the greenhouses. Items I only use in the startup time each spring.I mostly have shelves attached to the framework but they are shallow and really mostly only practical for fans and tools. In addition I do have a...

Your screen door, if it's the kind we have here - where you can slide the glass to reveal a bug screened opening would be a good replacement for the louvers. Just make sure your vent is near the back away from the door and air will flow through

I run mine 365days/24hr with 15mins on/off periods - since using a fan in this way I've had much fewer problems with moulds and bugs.

I bought a 12' x 10' and a 40' x 10' on eBay. Forgotten the price of the first, but the 40' x 10' was about £400. I wasn't in a hurry and just did a search on eBay with very specific criteria and then pressed the "Save search" button - which effectively sends you an Email whenever there a new...

The main benefit of aeroponics is in the rapid, abundant root growth and the type of roots it produces. All things being equal, environment wise, an aeroponic plant will generate a more efficient root system in less time using less resources. The time and energy saved can be put to good use in...
