Growing plants is an excellent way to spend time in your garden and to experience the great outdoors in a productive manner. It has become a major hobby for millions of people across the globe. Many people prefer buying or building a greenhouse.
The hardest part about having a greenhouse is building it and filling it with plants. Once that’s done, though, the work isn’t over, keeping a greenhouse neat, and clean is no easy process.
Top 5 Tips to Make Your Greenhouse More Efficient
1. Clean Often
2. Plant Deciduous Plants
3. Pest Control
4. Ventilation System
5. Irrigation System
1. Clean Often
You should scrub the windows of the greenhouse regularly to allow more sun. Besides keeping your greenhouse neat, you should regularly clean and sterilize all of the surfaces of the greenhouse.
You should use environmentally-friendly soap and warm water should be used to clean all the floors and counters of the greenhouse.
2. Plant Deciduous Plants
Hot summer sun, especially in the afternoon, can damage your plants. Plant some deciduous trees to the west of the greenhouse to block some of this light.
You don’t need to worry about the sun in the winter as these plants shed their leaves allowing extra sun to get in.
3. Pest Control
You should thoroughly inspect every single plant for pests that you plan on bringing into their greenhouse. Once a few pests manage to sneak past your defenses, they may begin to multiply at very fast speeds.
To deal with pests in a greenhouse, you should use artificial or natural pesticides.
4. Ventilation System
You should check the ventilation system frequently that is installed in a greenhouse to ensure that it is not malfunctioning. When the shutters and louvers get squeaky, you may need to oil them.
They need to be oiled, so that they will have no difficulty opening and closing without an excess amount of friction.
5. Irrigation System
You should check the connected lines and hoses of a watering system every few months. The hoses often become clogged or they develop cracks, so they need to be replaced or unobstructed. To get rid of the dirt in the hoses, you should run the water full pressure without the cap.
