Cover the greenhouse with a special film

Fiery fireworks, fellow gardeners!

They say that the new is the well-forgotten old. I was convinced of this again! Summer residents, it would seem, forgot about the film as a shelter and switched to polycarbonate sheets.

But a recent conversation with an acquaintance enlightened me: a new modern film appeared, in which there are a lot of advantages over both the old model and the ubiquitous polycarbonate. Irina noticed that after stretching the material, she harvested a harvest of her favorite tomatoes 1.5 times more than in previous years. Having learned about the garden know-how in more detail, I was surprised: however, it is an ideal option for both plants and a vegetable grower. Let's figure it out!

Ideal for plants

Now Irina's tomatoes are ripening on the vine

Changing the conditions of greenhouses and greenhouses, the summer resident first of all hopes: "Now my plants will be better!" After reading the properties of the new film, it becomes clear: even the most fastidious varieties and crops will appreciate the introduction of modern technologies:

  • All the crops we grow in our greenhouses need good lighting. And the film, which I am writing about, has a much higher solar transmission capacity than its predecessor polyethylene and polycarbonate - 90-92%. No wonder the tomatoes were appreciated!
  • In my opinion, the most important property is the exceptional ability to retain heat for a long time. Tests have confirmed that at night and during cold snaps in a greenhouse under the innovative material is 4 ° C warmer than under the usual one. Another plus in the treasury of conditions for high yields!
It seems to me that Irina's tomatoes really do well in a greenhouse
  • The hydrophilic property of the film is equally important. The flexible rubber-like surface prevents condensation drops from collecting. They immediately slide down to the base of the structure. Instead of dripping onto plants. Therefore, there is no excess moisture - a fertile environment for phytophthora - in a modern greenhouse either!

The three advantages together create a special microclimate in which plants will feel great and produce more fruits. But that's not all:

Ideal for the gardener

Outwardly, there are almost no differences with ordinary film

We have already understood that plants like the new film. But the use of know-how is only beneficial to the summer resident:

  • The film is not afraid of hail and strong wind. Tests have shown that with gusts of 18 m / s, the material does not even stretch.
  • Elasticity not only provides resistance to tension (eg from snow) and accidental puncture. If you still try and pierce the film with a nail, the hole heals itself over time due to the plastic properties of the film. There is a video on YouTube, and a lot of supporting reviews on popular review sites.
  • But the most delicious thing is frost resistance. The film does not need to be removed for the winter. The material from which it is made - ethylene vinyl acetate - withstands frosts down to -80 ° C without losing its properties.

Ideal, isn't it? If you also want to improve your hotbeds and greenhouses, then feel free to take the Russian-made Svetlitsa film:
