The Benefits Of A Cold Greenhouse
If, as a gardener,you have never owned or used a Greenhouse, I would recomend that you do so. Don’t be put off by the cost of green house kits or the cost of heating during the winter, since even a cold greenhouse can provide some great benefits. A cold greenhouse is really a technical term. It means that the greenhouse is not heated in winter. Also, other than by using shading and ventilation it is not artificially cooled in the high summer.
You can greatly increase the number and type of plants you can grow with the use of a cold greenhouse. Greenhouse gardening need not be expensive. Although it is not heated in winter, it will retain what heat the out of season sunshine provides for longer and will protect plants from cold winds.Therefore plants will grow for a longer season if grown in a cold greenhouse than if grown outdoors; You can also grow plants for which the normal outdoor season is not long enough, such as melons and peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes.
You will also be able to save some cash, by raising your own summer bedding plants in the cold greenhouse from seed, instead of buying from the garden centre. You will also have plenty to spare to give to friends or sell on market stalls.
When striking cuttings, the process can be helped somewhat in the cold greenhouse by adding a little botom heat by way of small tray heaters.Though many cuttings are perfectly successful without that adition.
The cold greenhouse can be a great help in germinating seeds such as sweetcorn that need a little heat to germinate. You effectively extend the growing season by getting started with the seed sowing that bit earlier. Don’t forget that, The sugar in sweet corn starts to change to starch as soon as it is harvested, so the sooner it is cooked the better. The traditional and established way of raising early seeds on the windosill has some significant drawbacks. The problem is that the plants become impossibly ‘leggy’ before you are ready to put them outside. Because the light comes from all round them in a greenhouse, this does not happen.
So if you haven’t tried a Greenhouse, it will pay its own way in a short time and will increase your sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in gardening. So build a greenhouse now.
