Overview

A Beginners Guide to Growing Fruit and Vegetables. Greenhouse gardening is one of the oldest forms of gardening. It is also one of the most common. A greenhouse is basically a structure with a roof and walls made mainly of transparent stuff, like glass, where plants growing under controlled climatic conditions are typically grown. A mini greenhouse is often called a greenhouse cold frame. While greenhouse gardening can be done mainly with metal or plastic sheets, the most popular material preferred for its convenience is heat Reflective foil (FR). This is a clear plastic sheeting with an aluminum foil backing that is usually a bit rough but flexible enough to mold into different shapes, sizes and configurations. It can easily diffuse and disperse heat rapidly. The heat Reflective foil also reduces evaporation by allowing only the soilless air exchange. It has good air ventilation as it is opaque and does not allow sunlight through. Greenhouse gardening is therefore usually done with help of greenhouse kits. These kits can be purchased from almost any nursery, home gardening store or garden supply shop. If you want to save money on greenhouse gardening equipment, you can make your own greenhouse gardening kits at home with materials from around your house. But the quality of materials should be pretty good and sturdy. Greenhouse kits come with complete instructions along with detailed set out of everything that you need to build your greenhouse. Controlling pests is another important aspect of greenhouse gardening. Controlling pests requires effective pest control methods and the most effective method is with the use of pesticides. But, do not use pesticides near your greenhouse. There is a possibility that pests could be moved from your greenhouse to your garden or your crops. You can avoid this problem by making sure that your greenhouse is completely sealed and your plants are protected. A good sealed greenhouse with a strong glass door is a must for effective pest control. So, greenhouse gardening is an excellent hobby as it allows you to extend your growing season. If done properly, growing plants in a greenhouse can yield better results than any other means. And you also do not have the hassles of harvesting and storing the fruits and vegetables in storage rooms. This hobby can also help you earn extra money if you are a member of the gardening club or a farmer.
