Why
have a
greenhouse?
Greenhouse gardening is simplicity itself: * Grow
vegetables and other plants from seeds. * Take cuttings
to increase your plant stock. * Extend the growing
season and have fresh early vegetables. * Grow fruit
and vegetables that don't like the British climate. eg
cucumbers, peppers, melons.

Size? Assess what space you have
available in your garden and how you intend to use your
greenhouse. At busy times in the year, space is at a
premium. Buy the largest greenhouse you can afford that
will fit the space you have available. Site? A
greenhouse needs maximum sunlight so choose a sunny,
sheltered site away from overhanging trees. A firm, level
and well-drained site is essential. Plants require a lot
of water every day, so your greenhouse should be close to
a supply of running water. |
