Greenhouse "Snowdrop": customer reviews

Heat-loving garden crops develop poorly in temperate climates. Fruit ripening comes later, their yields are lower. And it's not only exotic plants, but already long-standing tomatoes, peppers, eggplants. The lack of heat affects the maturation of early varieties of many vegetables.

The way out of the situation has long been found. This construction of structures to protect the soil - greenhouses and greenhouses. They create a special microclimate, retain moisture and heat, thereby accelerating vegetation and fruiting.

What is the difference between a greenhouse and a greenhouse?

Greenhouses - small structures up to 1.3 meters high. Unlike greenhouses, they do not need additional sources of heat. Heating is due to the natural biological release of heat and energy of the sun. They are not equipped with doors. For access to plants, it is possible to tilt one side - the side or the top. Very convenient in this respect is the "Snowdrop", which can often be heard about from amateur gardeners. It opens the end part of the covering material, and if necessary - and any of the side parts.

Now greenhouses use modern materials - spunbond, cellular polycarbonate or polyethylene. Previously, the most common material was glass, because of which the installation took a lot of time and work. If you install the "Snowdrop" greenhouse, the horrible and long process of assembling a complex design of the old type can be forgotten forever.

Greenhouses - more capital structures. Their height reaches 2.5 meters, if the plants are handled manually. If mechanized care and assembly are provided, then they can be even higher, taking into account the size and features of the technique used. The installation of greenhouses is more complicated. It is necessary to correctly calculate the dimensions and provide for heating equipment.

Types of greenhouses

Greenhouses differ in several parameters:

• By the type of covering material: glass, PVC film, polycarbonate, spunbond.
• By type of construction: polygonal or arched, one- or two-slope.
• In size: conventional and mini-greenhouses.

The type of skeleton depends on the choice of the covering material. Under the glass usually use wooden frames, occasionally you can find metal plastic bags. The rest of the materials do not require frame structures, under them a frame made of metal pipes, HDPE rods or wooden crate is made. The size depends on what plants are planned to grow - low or tall. It also makes no sense to put a high greenhouse for seedlings.

A few tips for truck farmers

• In one hotbed it is undesirable to plant different cultures that can mutually pollinate. If it does not work out in a different way, then between them you need to put a partition.
• You can not grow cucumbers and tomatoes together. Cucumbers require more moisture, and tomatoes - on the contrary. In addition, tomatoes need to be ventilated more often and do not allow them to overheat.
• For planting in a hotbed it is better to buy self-pollinated varieties of vegetables. If the usual ones are already planted, then it is necessary to conduct forced pollination.
