Greenhouse Gardening
So you dream of harvesting fresh veggies in
the dead of winter? It is possible, all you need is a greenhouse garden.
First you will need to decide on the area where your greenhouse will
be. If there is not enough space for putting in a free standing
version, then maybe an attaching a greenhouse to your home is a good
idea.
Then you will need to measure the amount of light in the area. The
greenhouse should have enough sunlight for the plants and shade if it
gets too hot. This can be done by making some observations at different
times of the day.
Your home may be affected by cold winters or the heat during the
summer. Preparations need to be made to install a heater and a
ventilation system which would counter these threats and make your
garden grow in the greenhouse.
The kind of heater to be used for a greenhouse can be powered by
electricity since the area is not that big. Heaters that use
oil
or gas may only be needed if the structure is very large.
Both systems will need to provide the garden with sufficient oxygen and
carbon dioxide that are needed for the plants to grow.
Since plants need sunlight to grow, the type of material used
for the windows and ceiling are very important.
Traditionally, glass has done the job, but some studies have shown that
too much sunlight passes through and can kill the plants. To avoid
this, panels made of film, plastic or Plexiglas are much better.
You should also only use the types of plants that will grow in a
greenhouse. You can ask the sales representative at your gardening
store or look at the label posted on each plant before buying and
bringing it home.
When everything is ready, you have a few options. You can draw the
design yourself then go to a supplier who can build it , you
can
hire a designer to plan and build it for you, or you can purchase a
ready-made kit and build it yourself.
Whichever decision you make, it will be a good one, especially when you
bring in the first harvest from your greenhouse garden!
