Top Six Greenhouse Gardening Tips Print E-mail
Wednesday, 04 July 2007
Greenhouse gardening is similar to yet unlike gardening in the open. While the same basic gardening skills are required, greenhouse gardening also gives you complete control and responsibility for the environment of your plants. This adds duties to your normal gardening routine, and can be more time consuming than regular gardening. Here are the top six greenhouse gardening tips for the amateur greenhouse gardener.

1. Plotting your greenhouse gardening location is much like plotting the location of your normal garden. Make sure that there is maximum light and minimum traffic. If your greenhouse is one that will be used throughout the winter, you will want to plot your greenhouse gardening for the winter light.

2. You should make sure that you have enough room to do your greenhouse gardening. Do not fill your greenhouse to the brim with potted plants and seeds. Make sure that you have enough room to move around and work on your greenhouse gardening.

3. Greenhouse gardening is largely different from regular gardening in that you have to monitor and control the environment. To do this properly you will need to install a thermometer near the middle of your greenhouse. If temperatures get too high for your plants to be healthy you will need to ventilate the greenhouse to cool things down for your greenhouse gardening.

4. Greenhouse gardening requires the same soil as typical gardening. However, your plants will not need as much watering as they would outside. This is because the greenhouse holds moisture in the air, and the soil does not dry out as quickly. Only do your greenhouse gardening and watering when the soil is dry.

5. You will need to disinfect your greenhouse as a part of your greenhouse gardening. This will help prevent mold from growing on the walls of the greenhouse. This can occur due to the levels of heat and humidity in the greenhouse, so regular cleaning is important.

6. Water your plants with room temperature water when you do your greenhouse gardening. If you water with cold water in a greenhouse temperature setting you will kill your plants with the shock. You should also let the water sit for one day before watering so that the chlorine in the tap water is evaporated.
