Cold Frame Greenhouses

When installing a cold frame greenhouse in your yard choose an area with southern or southeastern exposure. Also be sure there is proper drainage. In extreme conditions you’ll need to take extra steps to protect your plants. Professionals recommend stacking leaves and or straw on top of the structure during the night. This will protect your greenhouse garden from freezing


Water Garden Tips

Stocking your pond with plants will limit the growth of algae. The plant provides shade for the water, limiting the amount of sunlight reaching the water, thus reducing the rate at which the water turns green.


Gardening Your Vegetables

Watch for insect pests in the growing season. If you discover a bug problem early it will be much easier to eliminate. Be careful not to use pesticides once the vegetables are close to being picked unless absolutely necessary. Organic gardening is one healthy and environment-friendly option. Once you have reaped your crop, put the vegetable waste into your compost pile, so it can be recycled for next spring.


Thermostats

What really makes a greenhouse, a greenhouse, is environmental control. When using thermostats, remember to place the thermostats in the center of the room at plant-height, and to shield them from the sun.
