cleaning greenhouse

A lot depends on what you intend to grow in the soil this year. If it was tomatoes last year and you intend to grow them again, I'm afraid the best thing is to dig out the soil and exchange it for some fresh. This is what I do. Also I use Jeyes fluid diluted in a garden spray to clean the insides, glass and frame. You need to leave it a couple of weeks after cleaning before growing any plants in there.

 

Jeyes fluid won't hurt the soil, in fact it used to be used as a soil disinfectant (but has been banned from that use now). I used to use it to sterilize the soil in my greenhouse borders but you needed quite a large dose to work. It will scorch any green plants so you need to empty the greenhouse first.

 

I've only just cleaned out my Green House [within the last 3 days]. I used a sprayer and Jeyes fluid on the glass and frames inside and out. The following day I cleaned the glass with ordinary cleaner in water to get rid of the haze that Jeyes Fluids tends to leave. I don't have soil in the Green House. As JWK rightly says Jeyes Fluid won't harm the soil and is quite safe to use.:D
