Hobby Greenhouse Reviews
Are you greenhouse dreamin' and greenhouse planning during the off
season? Just about every gardener is.
Outdoor garden enthusiasts anxiously, make that impatiently, await the arrival
of spring. For those of us who really can't wait, there are
garden greenhouses. They come in a variety of sizes, from the big commercial
greenhouses, to home walk in greenhouse, to small hobby greenhouses that
fit on your deck.
One of the most popular styles, is the portable greenhouse. Portable greenhouses
set up and take down in minutes. And, they are designed for easy storage
in the off season.
You can design and build your own greenhouse. There are greenhouse plans
available to assist you. However, it is a lot of work to design and build
one yourself. So, most gardeners choose to buy an easy to setup hobby greenhouse
kit, or have a professional installer build a walk in greenhouse.
Greenhouse Benefits:
Are you considering a home greenhouse? If so, the benefits are many:
-
Frost protection- light freeze protection too.
-
Wind protection- This is really beneficial for young seedlings.
-
Save money- harvest crops earlier in the spring and later in the fall when
prices are higher in stores.
-
Controlled environment- including pollination control.
-
Attractive- a greenhouse really spruces up the appearance of your yard. It
shouts "an avid gardener lives here!"
-
The simple fun of it-to an enthusiastic gardener, greenhouses are also a
garden toy. It's something to putter and play with.
-
Keeps out animals- no more bunnies and deer munching on your favorite flower
or vegetable.
-
Keeps out insects- keeping the greenhouse closed will keep out harmful insects
like squash vine borers. But note, it can also harbor insects that may sneak
in while the greenhouse is left open.
-
Over-wintering bushes and shrubs- In some areas of the country, greenhouses
are commonly used to over-winter shrubs and plants that are grown in containers.
Things to be Watchful for:
A home greenhouse offers many benefits. There are a couple things to be watchful
of in this enclosed environment.
-
First on the list is high humidity- adding a little humidity may be beneficial,
but it can also promote plant disease.
-
High temps can cook your plants- left tightly closed on a sunny spring day,
the temperature in your greenhouse can reach levels high enough to kill your
plants.
-
Harboring insects- as mentioned earlier, there is a good and a bad here.
A closed environment may keep insects out. But those that sneak in, find
a cozy shelter and thrive.
-
Soil dries out more quickly- this is especially true in a raised bed greenhouse
system. Easily rectified, just plan to water more frequently.
Tip: When considering where to locate your hobby greenhouse, look
for a spot in your yard that might afford a bit of a windbreak, yet not shade
your greenhouse too much. While most hobby greenhouses are made of durable
materials, high spring winds can damage them.
