Shell finished - now we go to the interior of the greenhouse
The construction is finally done, now the greenhouse can start to set up, for which there are endless possibilities. Temperature and humidity have to be right and the soil needs to be optimally prepared to reshape the habitat of the plants as naturally as possible.
Whether built by hand, or purchased as a prefabricated self-assembly: set up the greenhouse you should not act haphazard and be clear about it, which fruits and vegetables or ornamental plants to be cultivated or grown. Knowledge about the natural crop rotation is just as important as the knowledge about the basic compatibility of the different species of individual plants and plants. In any case, this planning depends on the Size and height of the housebut also the construction method, ie whether the walls and roof are made of foil or glass, is not insignificant in order to set up your new greenhouse.
Technical Equipment
From a certain size, it makes sense to think about a water connection. Professionals who grow particularly demanding plants often use automatically controlled irrigation systems. However, if you set up a greenhouse with less than 10 m2 of usable floor space, the traditional watering can will probably be sufficient for one regular water supply of your plants sure. But you probably will not get past a heater. Whether it is permanently installed, or only runs in emergency mode on a fan heater, which is otherwise in the house, is first and foremost a question of cost. However, it should be understood that even in our temperate European climates Night frosts until the end of April can not be excluded in general.
Setting up a greenhouse also requires good soil
Whether the plants should thrive on the ground or grow in the raised bed, optimal soil conditions are the alpha and omega of breeding. Especially the young plants need one in the first days and weeks nutrient rich soilwhich should best consist of a high proportion of compost or humus. The compost should be ripe and in any case free of pests and not too wet to prevent fungal infestations, which are especially susceptible to tomatoes, peppers and courgettes.
