Going Away

Hello chums. In a couple of weeks I'll be jetting off to the sun for a week Thing is, what do I do with the greenhouse ? Do I leave the door open ? As it stands I keep it heated at night but not sure what to do. Cheers...freddy.

 

I should add, I have auto-vents.

 

Will the auto-vents, by themselves, keep it cool, or do you have to open the door?

If its door-open my preference would be to fit a louvre low down (usually at the back) which can be opened by an auto-vent thingie.

If we get a frosty night leaving the door open won't be good :(

But basically you will have to get used to only going away when the garden allows it in future!!

 

Dont you have a relative who would like a change and would come and house sit for you.

 

I'll look after them for you ... they are welcome in my Tomato Plant Kennel - but I have a minimum-look-after-time, for Tomato plants, of six months :hehe:

 

Freddy,I have a mesh door that I slot into place when I leave the g/house unattended,if you have no one who can do you the honours opening and shutting I would risk leaving the door open but with a mesh barrier to keep the temp. down on hot days and keep the vermin out,also have some shading up ,switch the heater off it's unlikely in a couple of weeks time for the temperature to drop that low,but you would only have to have one hot day and everything is cooked.

 

Hi folks, thanks for all the replies, sorry I didn't get back sooner. Problem solved, my neighbour will open and close it for me. The watering is also sorted as I bought one of those kits with a timer and it seems to work ok :thumb:
