Greenhouse Growing

Hi, Dave W - Now there is a thought .... Now you quote a research concerniong cold versus luke water on plants ... Frankly I begin to wonder about all these researches that one reads about, inasmuch as one does find an awful lot of contradictions from one research to another. And i am not...

Great story there. I can just imagine it, lol. Look forward to seeing it filled. cheers

Right, let's try again....Excellent - that's worked. Thanks for liking me!

Two season on, and if (when?!!) I do it again, I would choose Flood and Drain. Many plants are two wet on capillary matting, although the ability of the matting to hold water means that nothing goes dry easily.I have lots of slugs and snails this year (everywhere, as does everyone else), but...

Sounds alright, i`d cover it with white poly or paint it white as the black will get very hot and cook the roots inside. I had moss growing on the underside of the weed barrier i used for my tomato hammock, its finally given up the ghost and started to tear along the back edge where its clamped...

The premium is thermostatically controlled, the standard isn`t.

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...

I use Armilatox sold now as a cleaning agent.Any consolation I also put 10mm into a watering can when watering plants, have used this method for years with no ill effects.Trevor

I've never thought of using a fan....but i haven't suffered with mould or rot (touches wood)...My GH has a door at the front and the back and i just open those for some air....

Thanks for the info sandymac. I'll have to prob pollinate with a brush as not getting bees in even though I've got 2 nests lol

Why not have it ALL glass or glass substitute?

Ah, sorry to hear that :(

Hi @shiney - thanks for the offer - but don't worry about a picture. Its all water under the bridge now.I did try to Google the history of capilliary matting, but found nothing. Though I did find one company that sells matting made from recycled cotton and wool. That surprised me. I think it...

I stick to Jeyes fluid and power washing best of all.And certainly before any plants go in.

Here are a few more photos of the inside of the new greenhouse. The tub is thanks to the wifey and here idea for this. It holds a reservoir of water in the base so all we have to do is spray the plants when they need it. Sorry to say the fuchsia's are now covered with aphids, so out came the...

Just admit it mate you have memory blokes

Expecting a knock on the door from Plod,the police Helicopter was hovering directly overhead looking at my bright greenhouse.Weeds I'm not into.ha ha

My GH is a Halls cedarwood. The door has three horizontal glass panes, replaced with twinwall polycarbonate. These are easily removed in the summer. The area on the inside of the doot is covered with wire mesh.

Oh cool now I have had a few visits to Hamilton and surrounding areas. Niagara of course and Toronto but so enjoyed around Hamilton and the people.. A nice place and loved the history..

Because we sailors always gravitate toward the red lights!
