Make your own small greenhouse and plant plants in all seasons
Nov 18, 2022
Many people want to be able to plant and sow plants throughout the year. When the winter is particularly cold, there is definitely no way to do it. At this time, you need a small greenhouse, which can be made of transparent plastic film.
However, it takes a lot of thought and money to build a complete greenhouse, and it needs to be planned in advance. You can also make it yourself. You can make a simple greenhouse with only a few hundred pieces. If you build it directly with plastic film, it will be cheaper.
A greenhouse is a small greenhouse erected with a shelf. Some are supported by bamboo poles, some are made of wood, and some are made of metal supports. The entire bracket will be covered with some plastic film, and various materials that can penetrate the sun can be used, and proper air circulation must be maintained. Usually there is an entrance on the four sides of this small greenhouse or on the roof to allow the wind to penetrate Come in.
When you first set up a greenhouse, it will be more difficult. However, as long as you have a greenhouse, there are many benefits. You can start sowing before the end of winter. You can plant plants better. The greenhouse can increase light and heat. For example, common vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, etc, can be cultivated earlier.For all kinds of ornamental flowers that are not cold-resistant, they can also overwinter safely in the greenhouse, such as common flowers such as triangular plum, pine leaf peony, etc.
In the greenhouse, you can also cultivate some ornamental plants from other areas, even vegetables and fruits. For example, in the greenhouse, even in the north, you can grow some lemons or other citrus fruits.Vegetables can be cultivated all the year round in a small greenhouse. There is no need to be afraid of the bad weather. Even if the wind and rain are blowing outside, the plants can grow healthily in the greenhouse, and the impact will not be great.
It is also more advantageous to cultivate plants in the greenhouse, because there are few weeds in it. The greenhouse can also better maintain moisture and control the temperature, which is incomparable to the outdoor environment.
If you want to set up a greenhouse by yourself, you must have a certain height, preferably higher than people, so as not to bend over when taking care of plants (there is not enough space, or only small potted plants, you only need a mini greenhouse).
A particularly complete greenhouse requires a heating and air supply system, which also requires appropriate space. It is best to reserve appropriate space in the greenhouse for tables, so that it is not easy to damage plants when we move around, and we can take better care of plants.
Some windows need to be arranged in the greenhouse, using a variety of compact plastic films and reflective materials, to allow sunlight to shine in, but also to prevent the escape of heat and moisture.
The location of the greenhouse should have more natural light and avoid being arranged in dark places. Of course, you should not be excessively exposed to the sun, otherwise the sun will be too strong and the plants will be burned.Of course, we set up a small greenhouse to take care of some potted plants. There is not too much, so we don't need to build a big greenhouse, just a mini small greenhouse.
Air also needs to circulate in the greenhouse, otherwise it is also harmful to plants. In the greenhouse, it is also very important to have proper oxygen. Many people will use fans or blowers to keep the whole greenhouse ventilated and let the air circulate.Some windows should be reserved in the greenhouse. When the temperature is too high, they can be properly opened to reduce the temperature. Some more advanced greenhouses will be equipped with some automatic temperature adjustment systems. In fact, when the temperature is high, open the windows for ventilation to remove heat. The automatic ventilation system is not very expensive, but it can save time and energy, because a sensor is arranged, and the sensor can receive it when the temperature rises or falls.
However, the small greenhouse we set up ourselves only needs to be opened manually. In addition, we should also pay attention to controlling the humidity and keeping the humidity at about 50% to avoid excessive or too low air humidity.
