Have you tried using maybe a solar powered fan in your green house? It will make ur seedlings stronger, will help with air flow and might hold down any excessive humidity
greenhouse price is quite high. For that much money I could buy vegetables starts for 10 years
Thank you SO much!!! We are working on restoring an old greenhouse we built over 20 years ago and never really used it the way it's supposed to be used. It is 15 x 30. I want to use it the way you are using yours. I want the first 3rd of it on seed prep area as well as tables to put my seeds on after I get them started if it is warm enough. We are planning on getting a wood stove to heat ours when we need it. We are also going to make some raised beds for some things like Ginger and other things.
As soon as we get this one finished, (hopefully by the end of next week!!! fingers crossed), we are going to put up a much larger greenhouse to grow a lot of our regular garden vegetables. My goal in the up coming years is to grow enough plants to sell a lot of them at farmers markets.
I am super excited to use them both and learn as well. I really appreciate your video. It helped out a lot!! Thanks again! Oh PS. We live in Eastern Oklahoma, about 1 1/2 away from Fort Smith, Arkansas. Arkansas is such a beautiful state!
You’re so right that it is really hard to find info on greenhouse growing. My environment is extremely cold and I can’t even grow tomatoes at all, in the summer, without one. Consequently, I have a very well-insulated five-wall polycarb greenhouse but with intensity of the sunlight here it can get to 90 when it’s 20 outside, even with automatic vents. And yet I still heat it with thermal mass AND cover the crops right now with a hoop house & a blanket- inside the greenhouse! With all the differences between climates and types of greenhouses, I think gardeners just have to adapt what they can glean from multiple sources. It takes a huge amount of trial and error. But I love it. With three feet of snow on the ground I don’t think I could tolerate the weather otherwise.
Greetings from West Cork, Ireland, from a Sheehy to a McSheehy. Our ancestors probably knew each other! I've got a sunroom that I'm using as a greenhouse and it allows me to have a continuous supply of salad greens growing in pots for most of the year. In the wintertime and early spring, it's fantastic to be able to watch plants growing when it's wet or blowing a gale outside. This year I started in mid-February and I'll probably try using grow lights for the winter just like you suggest. Great channel, by the way.
I'm starting my first season doing this and got my greenhouse set up. I discovered a lot of the same stuff as you, it heats up very quickly and cools down just as fast once the sun goes down.
My seedlings are still very small. I'm still learning.
Thank you for your videos I am also from zone 7B and new to growing plants since finding your channel my yields and knowledge are improving.
Do you have a video about making your own potting mix? I searched for it but can’t find one?
Even in winter, plants inside the greenhouse are protected from wind. The outside plants can be robbed of their heat through windchill factor.
I feel exactly the same way with my greenhouse, its definitely my "happy place"
I have been looking online at Yoder greenhouses. I’m in Arkansas too and these are built in Arkansas. I absolutely love them. Hubby already said “ go for it”. I just might!
One of my greatest joys is in January when the wind is blowing, the rain or snow is pelting, but enough sun to keep it very comfortable, and I take a book out there with my two cats, who absolutely love it.
This was good info, I am preparing to build myself a greenhouse and I totally loved all of your tips
Hi I’m here in central Arkansas as well – Vilonia. And also have a Yoderbilt greenhouse! Where are you located ?
Thank you for the information.
I have a vine plant(lily) and i had her in the greenhouse for about an hour and i went to check on her…. her beautiful leaves were drooping and she looks like shes gonna pass.
We're getting ready to put my seeds in the greenhouse i pray we get great results. We started with a small greenhouse, but big enough for tomatoes carrots, lettuce, zucchini i want to get strawberry seeds too.
Please pray that my plants will flourishing with beautiful healthy food.
Good info and tips, just build one. Thanks
Thank you for this good basic information. Having just bought a large greenhouse and having no experience in using it, I found what you said was very helpful! Tony Haighway Shropshire, England.
