What do you need to know about a summer cottage greenhouse?

Unfortunately, the climate of our area does not allow us to grow many crops, as well as some types of flowers. In this case, a greenhouse comes to the rescue - a special structure for growing plants in warmth and comfort. Many people are sure that a greenhouse under a film or cellular polycarbonate should be installed in the spring, but experts think completely differently. According to experienced gardeners, such a structure of a summer cottage greenhouse is easier to make in the fall. Having installed a greenhouse in the fall, you can use it in early spring. And another important reason to install a greenhouse structure in the fall is the price of the material, since in the spring it becomes extremely expensive. In order to correctly place the structure of a winter greenhouse on the site, you need to choose a well-lit place. The ideal option would be if the side is directed to the south, since it has the largest area. In winter, when the greenhouse is covered with snow, do not worry too much. If it is made of good and durable material, you can leave the snow there. Or gently knock on the back side, it won't do any harm.

Growing in a greenhouse in winter

When planting plants in a greenhouse, first of all, it is necessary to pay due attention to the soil. Fertile soil is prepared in the following ways: - Mix sifted sawdust and peat in a ratio of 1:3. The resulting mixture is moistened with a solution of Cambri combi (20 g per 10 liters of water). - Mix sand, peat and turf soil in a ratio of 1:1:2. - Mix sawdust, humus and turf soil in a ratio of 1:1:2. The resulting soil must be frozen for a long time so that it is disinfected. You can prepare several types of soil and see which one gives the best result. Crops can be planted in the soil both with seeds and seedlings, i.e. by picking. Watering seedlings in a greenhouse better either in the morning, before sunrise, or late in the evening. You can't water the plants in hot weather, as they can get burned and wither. Water for irrigation should be kept in the greenhouse, so it will fully correspond to the soil temperature. In no case, do not plant plants that are incompatible with each other - this can harm their growth and development. In fact, maintaining a greenhouse is not difficult. The most important thing is to follow the basic rules, and you will definitely succeed! Grow flowers, vegetables and exotic fruits. In winter and summer, you will always have natural food on your table.

Many gardeners now have greenhouses, which allow them to control the growth of seedlings and plants. Incoming sunlight heats the ground and warm air rises in the greenhouse. The warm air can escape slowly, so that it remains humid in the greenhouse and the plants have optimal growing conditions.
