5 Considerations for Year-Round Greenhouse Growing | MOTHER EARTH NEWS

 

Spring is approaching in big steps, and the time when all lovers of backyard gardening will start their activity is not far away. Tomatoes, cucumbers, various types of salads and other garden goodies find their place in greenhouses. The process of choosing the right greenhouse is quite complicated and time-consuming, but by evaluating the right basic principles of greenhouse selection, in the end, can get exactly what you have longed for.

 

Choosing to grow plants in a greenhouse, it is a guarantee that the crop will be protected from insects, birds and changeable weather conditions. It stores warm and humid air, which creates a favourable environment for growing plants. Under good care conditions, the harvest will always be brisk and on time. Today's wide technological possibilities offer to make greenhouses from a variety of materials. One of these materials is a reinforced film. Its advantages are high heat resistance and load resistance. With this type of greenhouses you will be able to start planting in early March, but the last benefits of the garden can be collected in early October / late November. The reinforced film consists of two layers of polyethylene and one mesh. The mesh layer takes over all the influencing factors from the moment the greenhouse is installed. In case of damage, it does not allow the crack to develop around the entire perimeter, so it will be faster and easier to repair. Also, this greenhouse material is very resistant to changing weather conditions, so it will not fade in the strong spring / summer sun and will also withstand the effects of autumn winds.

As important as the covering material of the greenhouse is its frame. Here one has to think about both the strength of the basic materials and its ability not to corrode. Galvanized metal would be the right choice in both cases, and if it comes with an arched shape, then durability and long service life are guaranteed. Arched greenhouses are a great solution because they are safe from strong crosswinds and can withstand heavy rainfall.On hot summer days, you should think about greenhouse ventilation options. This can be provided by opening the door or the hatch. In both cases, air will be present as the air flow will circulate through the greenhouse, but a hatch will be a safer option, as in case of strong winds, the trunks would not be damaged or broken.

Finally, the garden owner has to figure out how much area he wants to plant. The size of the greenhouse is important, because even when growing a few seedlings, it must be taken into account that the plant will expand and may start to parasitize on the trunk of the adjacent plant, thus suppressing and weakening it. For each tomato or cucumber seedling, an average area of 1m2 must be calculated, and one must provide some support for the plant to stretch upwards so that it does not touch the adjacent seedlings.

 

Spring is a great time to go to nature and take the best of it. By purchasing a greenhouse, it is guaranteed that what is grown with love will be productive, protected and will arrive on your dinner table in time.
