What's eating my lettuce inside my greenhouse?
Comments (2)I haven't ruled the inside job out just yet. Though there's been 2 weeks since the last heist was pulled. I'm suspicious about the back corner under the bench. Now I have to make time and get down under there and lift a board or two and see if I can find tunneling. In between the two robberies, I did construct an exact fitting screen door made of hardware cloth. But I got lazy the other day and used the window screen instead....See MoreA/C compressor/fan inside my greenhouse
Comments (2)That is the outside A/C fan compressor for my house that would be inside the greenhouse. I was more worried about damage to the unit by having it inside the greenhouse. I'm not worried about what it would do to the greenhouse....See MoreWhat can I grow in my greenhouse in the summer?
Comments (7)Hi Vladimir I've had my greenhouse for about 15 years. It's a lean-to off of my living room! The frame is made from angle iron and the cross beams are unistrut. The covering is corrugated clear panels that is sold at homedepot/lowes. Long story short last couple of years I've been growing inside the greenhouse over the summer and through the winter. I live in south jersey so i am zone 6b-7a. I have two box fans that run Constantly. I have a screen door on one side and window on the other side. It usually gets up to 110F-112F topp in summer. I have no shade cloth on the roof and my tomatoes never have a problem with the direct sunlight or heat. I do have a sprinkler that comes on automatically( cools temp a bit) and a bathroom exhaust fan that I connected to a temperature controller to pull out the extra heat. I usually do tomatoes in summer because the fans will pollinate the flowers and the deer/rabbits won't eat the plants. Cucumbers did really well last year where they actually took over the entire greenhouse and I had cucumbers into November. They just have to be pollinated by hand. any question s let me know steve...See MoreTiny jumping bug in my greenhouse
Comments (8)Leafhoppers are sucking insects, they pierce and suck the insides out of plants. They can pick up infections from one plant and transmit it to another when they pierce it. They're the "baddies". Not good to have in a greenhouse, not likely to be predators in there to keep them under control....See MoreUser
