I am getting ready to spring frosts in the greenhouse
Every weight saving seedlings from frost. And every time I think, whether to think of something that could not be easier. There are three ways: heating, accumulation of heat and shelter for the night.
Warming or not warming
Until there was heating in the greenhouse, the experiences of the seedlings was not the end. A cold 2017 sills were overwhelmed by the end of May. It was decided to finally realize the dream, to hang the IR heater.
The decision turned out quite budget. Leroy Merlin helped.
Conduct electricity in the greenhouse was not the arch challenging. Now, I do not think more about it. Whew!
Season is IR heater worked, some pros! In the winter removed. In the spring hang again and will heat the greenhouse at night. And as I could without it!
Who will gain, we need electric to your greenhouse area. Gas disadvantageous.
And the old-fashioned stove and make stoked with coal. Even very large greenhouse so heated. It seemed to me difficult, and some used.
Opt heat accumulators
The heater was on the ceiling in a small greenhouse. And in the large, unheated, for me irreplaceable arc agrospanom. To conceal the spring pioneers at night. Rastishka get there much later than in heated greenhouses.
Doug with covering materials, I believe, is not enough. Necessarily it is necessary to accumulate the sun's heat during the day and night use. How is it better to do?
Bottled water
The cheapest way, takes up little space, only requires a passion for collecting. In this case, plastic bottles.
In many ways the pros, I just it does not to the heart.
pros
- Maintain a climate in a greenhouse can be a very early spring until late autumn without changing the water. Brown bottle will heat faster, however, and such an excellent job with their task on the night warm up the air. I read a lot of evidence.
- If a flask filled not until the end, they quietly tolerate winter.
- They can be put on the ground, so she quickly warmed in the spring.
- You can make a side garden of such baklazhek with water added convenience.
I do not like the fact that a flask is not environmentally friendly. Water from them, I would not pour out into the garden. In summer, water is substantially heated, it collapses the inner protective layer inside a disposable container, and all that is obtained by destructuring the water.
In comments to article about pickling cucumbers Tamara Afonkina shared her way. I quote: "I'll tell you all about the use of 5-liter containers in the greenhouse: full 6-meter length of the greenhouse I have are these bottles of water. In the morning pour with a hose from the well, the day the water is heated, gives off heat at night my cucumbers, the next morning the water is not ice, not cool at all, watering her plants, then again I fill.
And so every day. Water in bottles does not stagnate in the greenhouse heat. Bottle, which was used for several years, replaced by new ones. This is my long-term experience. I would be glad if someone come in handy. "
Five-liter bottles can be of normal plastic, as his distinguished writing here
So, I feel sorry for the earth, so the recycling of water from waste plastic disposable packaging to me is unacceptable. The Earth can endure it, so why should she convert the extra stuff?
I have my own free way
It so happened that the three-liter cans we have in abundance.
I pour water in a bucket, and in the pan, all the vegetable containers.
Banks are open, so give extra moisture, water vapor helps plants tolerate well the night chill. As you probably know, before frost in spring should be watered beds, large heat capacity of water vapor is very even helps out in the open field.
Water from the jars I use for irrigation, then a new pour. How often? Mood. I can and from a watering can to water.
Barrels in the greenhouse did not like the place, take a lot of precious space. A small container the most it. A neighbor barrel of water in the greenhouse. The result is not better or worse.
And if you buy
Then there is this idea that the heat accumulator in the form of a black polymer hose with water, is filled by two thirds. "Couch Potato" is called. If you buy a black sleeve, twist and tie the edge, it turns out quite inexpensive, even seen the price of 25 rubles. per meter of hose (the price depends on the density). A sealed battery with a convenient hole for filling with a lid, are expensive, for example, 2 pieces by 4 m 1345 p.
Now, the disadvantages of this method, which I found on the reviews, and logic dictates that this is so.
- Such a couple of couch potatoes is not enough for heating the greenhouses at night, you have a few, as below. And very little ground left to the roots to breathe normally:
- I mulch can pierce this pleasure. Grass-then each and very caustic is. And if it will make a cat or a mouse... Grustnenko will :). People patch of couch potatoes. I do not like that prospect.
- In winter, of course, someone leaves the battery in the beds, but the plastic will not sustain any long summer and winter operation. A pour water... Again ground sorry ...
This budget allows, it is better to put solar panels in a greenhouse. I saw such variant. It costs less greenhouse. Models of the sea, different, there is a moderate price. We do not know the manifold disadvantages. Dream:)
That I have chosen for myself
While it turns out that from what has gone, that's what I came to a small open container with water banks.
And what you have chosen for themselves in the fight against spring frosts?
I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
