Good afternoon, my reader. Cold is not at all reason to switch to canned food and forget about fresh greenery and vegetables. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of diversifying the taste of soups and salads - put in the greenhouse of thyme and dill, spinach and ross. These and many other cultures are completely able to survive even the most severe winter - it is only necessary to maintain a permanent air temperature in the greenhouse. We offer to take a look at a few simple ways to keep warm in glass shelter and protect the harvest from frostbite, and a wallet from spending.
- Use the thermometer. Fruit crops are most ready to be content with small - while the air temperature does not fall below 10 ºC, they will continue to grow and develop. Place several thermometers in the greenhouse and regularly check their readings. Instruments include only when the height of the mercury pillar reaches the "critical" mark.
- Zoning space. Dividing the greenhouse to the separated areas, you will not only increase the air temperature in each individual level, but you can trace exactly which beds most of all need heating. The heaters located next to such sites will have to have for prolonged intervals, but at the work of their neighbors it will be possible to save. How isolate landing from each other? Refer to the help of stretch films - covered with sumps of material used for packaging of fragile products. Make the long curtains from the canvas - on the ceiling and on the walls of the greenhouses, secure them with the help of the isolate, and then press the stones.
- Use the thermostat. If you are not ready to check the thermometer readings every two hours, the help of this simple instrument will have to be very useful. Set the thermostat to the plants comfortable temperature and go on your affairs. When the greenhouse becomes cool, it will turn on the heaters automatically.
A propagator represents a miniature greenhouse intended for breeding seedlings. The content of the promotion will cost you much cheaper than the heating of a full-size greenhouse. The giants they grown in winter are usually not growing, so they do not need a lot of space.
It is not necessary to spend money on the installation of a complex heating system - it is enough to place a good electric fan inside the greenhouse. It will drive air flow throughout the shelter, evenly heating even the most secluded corners.
- Use geotextiles. The material perfectly retains heat - if you cover the seedlings every evening, they will easily survive even the coldest nights. In the mornings, geotextiles must be removed so that the plants do not start refusing.
- Heat the greenhouse with a stretch film. Filted by gardeners The material perfectly misses sunlight, but even better keeps heat. It is possible to use stretch-film not only for the separation of space - overlook the walls of the greenhouse with this transparent web and enjoy the result. Love scratches and dents stand out on the background of the pupil surface, so in case of damage to detect the problem space will not be difficult.
- Greenshots with hot water. It is not necessary to irrigate the soil with boiling water - water must be poured in tanks placed on the floor of the greenhouse. You can use one and a half-liter bottles as the latter. In this way, you can raise the air temperature for about three hours.
- Hard a greenhouse with a candle. The product should be performed at a respectful distance from the seedlings so that the leaves of the latter do not dried and do not get used. For the purpose of the greenhouse, you can warm up on the eve of the night.
