Aluminet shade cloth in winter?
Comments (5)Okay. I understand. I'll have to leave it up for at least another month though. We have had heat waves in the Chicago area well into September and very often, mild and sunny well into mid December. We tend to get slammed in January and our springs are cold, wet, muddy and miserable. Our falls are really the best weather of all: warm- sometimes hot, but clear and dry. I like the notion of using the aluminet on the interior north wall at least, and might just order up a piece of it to cut and fit against it, over the bubble. If I cut out for the door and left the piece on the hinge side attached, perhaps I could attach it to the door. Leaving it hanging as curtain could prove a PITA, as I'm in and out of my GH, usually with my hands full, no less than 4 X daily. I may try using tension curtain rods to hold the aluminet under the roof too. Or, stretch it to lay flat across the ceiling, to retain heat. I'll watch for end of season sales on the aluminet, perhaps just a 40% shade, which would still admit a lot of light, yet reflect heat back down. I'm still learning, but do know that most of the heat is lost through the roof. My GH is STILL a work in progress, and may always be. Perhaps that's part of the fun of having one....See MoreWhen to take off shade cloth for winter
Comments (6)It all depends on what your plants need for light levels. Remember your plants govern what you do with the greenhouse. Now with orchids, most want 2000 foot candles or less depending on what you have. With the other plants you will have to check the requirements. If you have a light meter, you can check you light levels. Anyone growing orchids should have a light meter. Measure your light, and remove if you need more light. On average, right now you probably could wait until Sept to remove it, but that all depends on what light levels are needed in your greenhouse. :-)...See MoreIs it time to pull broccoli plants out?
Comments (3)They may or may not survive but I suspect they won't do very well in your summer heat. (Get the name of that person at the garden center.) Broccoli often does produce more smaller shoots from a basal clump where a main crown has already been removed but usually during cooler weather. Regardless, it's time to use that space for more appropriate plants -- the warm-weather lovers. Time to sow your corn, put in a row of beans or -- something we can't quite do yet up here -- put out your tomatoes. Joe...See MoreLeaks - Pipe cannot pull out of the joint and can be pulled out
Comments (34)I realize that this is an old thread but I want to respond for anyone with a similar problem in the future. I am amazed that someone would tell you to hire a licensed plumber for such an incredibly easy job. Come on, folks! Have we become so helpless? When I read the question, I assumed it was about copper or galvanized pipe which would be very easy to fix too but then I saw it's PVC pipe. Nothing could be easier to fix and I have no idea why the person asking the question thinks he cannot remove the elbow. Of course you can remove it! You can simply cut it out with a hacksaw and put in a new elbow. You can extend the pipe that is cut off easily with just a union and a piece of PVC. Working with PVC is so incredibly easy that I am baffled about why the question was even asked. A proper repair would take about ten minutes and cost a couple dollars. I never cease to be amazed by how helpless people are becoming. This is pretty sad....See More- 11 years ago
