No matter how highly experienced or how much of a novice one is at gardening, the experience is going to be made better if gardening is done in a greenhouse. Importance of greenhouses Gardening success will be assured by the following some important tips on how to use and make greenhouses.

Extended Growing Season

In which you can start your plants earlier in the spring and keep them growing through the fall or winter;

1. Controlled Environment: To maintain the right temperatures, humidity, and light exposure that will provide your plants with the best growth.
2. Pest and Disease Management: Because, in essence, a greenhouse acts as a barrier from many insects and diseases.
3. Diverse Plant Selection: A greenhouse can be planted with any diverse plant selection one prefers, even the tropical ones that cannot survive in your local climate.

Choosing the Right Greenhouse Type

Careful selection is the most important part. Here are some factors that you should consider:

1. Size:

This can be very variable, dependent on space availability and the amount of plant to be grown. Hobby gardeners would have small-sized greenhouses, usually below 6 feet wide. Large structures, most often above 8 feet wide, are highly recommended for the serious gardeners.

2. Material:

Most greenhouses are made from either glass, polycarbonate, or polyethylene. Glass is very good in the transmission of light; however, it is also easily breakable and expensive. Polycarbonate is strong and also offers good insulation, thus it is recommended for very cold areas where the temperatures drop below freezing. Polyethylene is cheaper and also very easy to install.

Green house is something, which requires a ventilated environment as it tends to get hot and humid inside. Therefore, make sure that your greenhouse has facilities in terms of adjustable vents, fans, and louvers . Place your green house in sunny location; southern exposure is preferred. The location should be free from extremely strong winds and with easy access.

Building Your Greenhouse

A greenhouse is quite fruitful for your garden in the end. Here’s how to get it mounted:

1. Planning and Design

1. Foundations: Permanent, because it’s made up of a concrete slab, or portable, made of the wooden frame. Make sure it’s leveled and well-drained.
2. Frame: Wood, aluminum, PVC. Aluminum will not rust, and it is easy to handle, but due to its ability to bend readily, it may prove to have weaknesses. Wood is a natural look but heavy to handle. PVC is a cheap material to work with and shape, but it may easily snap when bended too much. Whatever the material used, ensure that the cover is firmly attached to the frame.

2. Construction

1. Foundation Laying: Lay the foundation as to the selected type. The foundation has to be laid stable and leveled.
2. Frame Assembly: Erect the frame in accordance to manufactures recommendations. All joints have to be fixed correspondingly and frame has to be stable.
3. Cladding Fixing: Fix cladding material on the frame. It has to be even without any gap; preferably without having the leads to come out and introduce the insects.

3. Ventilation and Heating:

1. Ventilation: Additionally, vents, fans, and louvers are provided to ensure better air circulation. For convenient ventilation, there are automatic vent openers instilled.
2. Heating: Several species can be heating supplemental depending on your climates. Some of you opportunities include adding electric heaters or propane heaters. Or maybe you would like to use primarily a passive heating method — perhaps water barrels that are painted black to heat up during the day and then emit heat back out at night.

4. Watering System:

1. Manual Watering: Small greenhouses can be watered by watering cans or hoses.
2. Automated Watering: What about drip watering or misting so that your garden gets regular, even moisture?

Greenhouse Maintenance

Okay—so you’ve got your greenhouse up. Here are some guidelines on how to do a super job of gardening in a greenhouse:

1. Crops Selection:

1. Right Plants for the Time: You can get your seedlings off to an early start in the spring and keep your harvest going a little longer in the autumn.
2. Summer: Perennials and tropical plants need a warmer temperature, preferably controlled under a greenhouse.

2. Soil Mix and Planting:

1. Soil Mixture: Plant in good quality, type-appropriate potting mix. The soil mix should be fertile and free-draining.
2. Plant: Plant following recommendations of each one. Appropriate spacing and arrangement of each type will reduce plant diseases by increased airflow.

3. Management of light:

1. Natural Light: Give adequate sunlight to your greenhouse. Manage the cover to be clean enough to transmit as much light as possible.
2. Extra Lighting: Make use of grow lights to provide the proper range of the light spectrum when bringing about the condition of low light under which a plant may grow.

4. Control of Temperature and Humidity:

1. Temperature: Keep monitoring and working with the correct temperatures required by your plants. Have heaters or fans as backup to control the temperature.
2. Humidity: Make sure that you moderate the humidity to keep off a fungal disease. You should always keep an eye on and monitor the humidity using a hygrometer. Increase aeration to maintain favorable humidity levels.

5. Pest and Disease Management

1. Prevention: Monitor plants for the symptoms of a potential pest or disease situation. Remove, uproot and trash the infected plant at the earliest.
2. Biological Controls: Lady birds and predatory mites are natural enemies which can be released to manage pest pressure.
3. Organic Solutions: Neem oil or insecticidal soap spray to manage pest distressing beneficial insects

Maintenance and Care

For your greenhouse to last and remain effective, optimal weekly maintenance is required:

1. Cleaning: The greenhouse should be clean on the outside and inside. Get rid of algae and pests. Do not use strong detergents and water.
2. Repairs: Regularly check the entire structure and make necessary repairs without delay. Keep checking for any loose joints, tears in the covering, or malfunction of any device.
3. Seasonal Adjustments: Keep changing the settings of your greenhouse according to the season. Put down some shading cloths during boiling hot summers and insulate the whole structure if it gets too cold in the winter.
