wwwcight's Our Greenhouse garden

Garden Type: Greenhouse | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Potting Mix I'm Organic!

This is the greenhouse in our garden, its 8′ × 6′ but not very tall. It is 2 years old. It is sat on a metal based that is supported by paving slabs. The floor is wood-chip covering weed suppressing blanket, covering soil. We grow things in pots, in grow bags & in trays sat on a mini greenhouse frame. Watering is generally done by a complicated drip feed system or by watering can when it comes to feeding. I’m planing to improve this to include water sprayers so the trays get done and the plants get a shower in the evening. We also have a paraffin heater, but it doesn’t get used all that much.

The grow bags are done in the model of having 2-3 large plant pots with their bases knocked out stuck into the top of the grow bag to raise the soil level, and companion plants (marigolds, etc.) directly planted in the bag.
