Green House Gardening

There are three different ways of gardening. One is to make your garden into your home. The other is to use the space where your garden and plant your crop outside. The third way is to make your gardening under glass to do. This is called the greenhouse.

Greenhouse horticulture is not that different from your average outside gardening. The most important consideration you need to think about is controlling the temperature of your greenhouse. Remembering that plants thrive at temperatures that are slightly lower than what is in our homes and that a much higher humidity than we are used to write, you show that your greenhouse plants get the right environment.

The best way to get the right amount of sunlight and warmth for your greenhouse is to build a place that could benefit from the maximum amount of sunlight right throughout the years. This is especially important during the spring and autumn seasons when the sun is at its lowest point in the southern sky. You should try and have your cash in a place where the sun's rays will reach through a southeastern to southwestern direction.

To ensure that ventilation flows throughout the greenhouse you should space your plants evenly over the garden areas. A method of having a good ventilation of the greenhouse doors open in the morning and close them in the late afternoon. This is a nice method in the winter, provided you keep weather in mind and make sure that winter frost does not creep in your greenhouse in the late afternoon.

The other way is very simple. Just hose down the entire greenhouse floor and then open the ceiling vents. This method cools the entire greenhouse very quickly.

For some plants in your greenhouse, commercial potting soil works well. Instead of your plants in pots or containers you should grow them in large tray beds. The best greenhouse potting soil under fir bark, sand, peat moss, vermiculite and perlite for drainage.

As with all types of gardening, you see that your plants get enough water. Greenhouse farming means that should not be taken on the water your plants. A climate controlled greenhouse regulates the moisture in the greenhouse.

Plants in a greenhouse means using your imagination. You have plenty of space so you can pot new plants and move to see the health of your other plants.

You need to plant vegetables like carrots, beets, turnips and other root vegetables in a deep box tray that fits under benches. Lettuce and other leafy vegetables can be planted low-growing vegetables in pots with a higher growth. Vegetables such as peas, cucumbers and tomatoes do well in tub type containers.

All you really need for a successful greenhouse is your imagination. Let it go and see what happens!
