Root Riot Seed Cubes
Last Saturday we were thrilled to be featured on the TV show Garden Time! The host, William, walked with us through our greenhouse to talk about our favorite seed starting supplies the we use in our Solexx Greenhouses.
Greenhouse equipment is one of those areas of greenhouse gardening that you may not think about often, but has the potential to make or break your greenhouse hobby or business. Having the right greenhouse equipment ensures that you have greater success in growing healthy, bountiful crops. It also means far less headaches, and backaches while gardening in your greenhouse.
Watering in the Greenhouse Garden
Greenhouse plastic can be a very versatile part of your greenhouse gardening hobby or business. By using greenhouse plastic sheeting, you can turn a sunny spot on your property into an inexpensive greenhouse with a minimal investment of time and money. Many wire-frame greenhouse kits come ready made for easy assembly with a lightweight, sturdy frame and easy to install greenhouse plastic. These types of greenhouse kits make greenhouse gardening easy and affordable for everyone.
Setting up a greenhouse in your backyard may seem like a daunting task, but the truth is that installing your very own backyard greenhouse can be as easy as 1-2-3! Here’s how.
1. Order a lightweight backyard greenhouse kit that fits the space dimensions you have available to devote to your new greenhouse garden. Today’s greenhouse gardening kits come in affordable packages that include everything you need to get your greenhouse up in a jiffy!
Great greenhouses for farmers and garden hobbyists can range from the small sized portable greenhouse to the elaborate commercial greenhouse. Farmers and garden hobbyists alike enjoy greenhouse gardening, and you can join their green ranks and experience the bountiful rewards of tending your own greenhouse garden. To get started, consider which type of greenhouse is right for you.
Things to Consider in Selecting a Greenhouse
If you’re a gardening enthusiast, the long winter months can seem to drag on forever. But they don’t have to! You can enjoy plants year-round with a window greenhouse of your own.
Most gardeners need to wait until after the final frost to start gardening (and let’s face it; nobody knows for certain which frost will actually be the last). Having a window greenhouse allows you to plant vegetables, flowers, herbs, and other plants throughout the year.
It’s Easier than You May Think
Hydroponics, the practice of growing plants without soil, is ideal for many greenhouse gardeners for a number of reasons.
Using a hydroponics method rather than growing your plants in soil uses less water, allows you to maintain greater control over pH, produces a significantly greater yield, frees you from having to deal with pests and soil borne diseases and, according to some studies, seems to produce vegetables with higher nutritional content.
If you’ve already taken the plunge into greenhouse gardening, then you’re undoubtedly already aware of the many benefits greenhouse gardening brings- from a year round growing season to the simple joy of being able to enjoy your plants when the weather isn’t cooperating.
Let’s face it, if you’re one of those people who finds joy in gardening, chances are that you face the same struggle year after year. As soon as the snow has melted and the ground is soft enough to turn over with a spade, you’re itching to get outside in the fresh air and help Mother Nature turn everything green again (or red, orange, blue, yellow and violet if you’re a flower gardener). Unfortunately, if you don’t show some restraint when transplanting from the garden greenhouse, much of your labor of love can be lost to a late frost or other adverse conditions.
If you ask ten self-proclaimed gardening experts for soil preparation tips for greenhouse gardening, you’re likely to get at least eleven different answers. In part, that’s because every seasoned gardener (greenhouse gardener or otherwise) has their own set of tricks that they have had success with. It is also because the tips that work best will vary considerably, depending on what you’re trying to grow in your greenhouse garden.
