Your plants will love you.
What if you could move your garden to a warmer, much better place without actually moving? That's what greenhouses are for! You can use them to create a climate that your plants love and will thrive in. Here are a few guidelines on how to select a greenhouse.
1. Size
Size matters with greenhouses: you probably don't have an endless amount of space. Luckily, there are many different sizes on the market, here are a few:
2. Material and Cost
The cheaper greenhouses often use a cheaper plastic - which happens to be the most important thing about greenhouses. It acts as insulation, keeps water out and lets sunlight shine through. Cheaper foil can degrade more quickly in UV radiation. They should last a season or two though. If you want more quality, you have to pay more. Then you will get 'real' plastic (not bendable) or glass. They are more heavy duty and not as easy to move, but they usually don't come in smaller sizes.
3. Plants
Your plants are going to love you for their new home. However, that doesn't mean that you can forget about them: water evaporates more quickly due to more heat. So you will have to water a bit more. On a hot summer day, it can easily burn the plants. Open a door and let cool(er) air in.
4. What to do now
There are many types of greenhouses and with the right care, your plants will thrive and your yield will increase drastically! So think about buying a greenhouse, it doesn't have to look ugly or be super large! Want to know how to design your garden? Check out this post.
