Winter greenhouse - all learned in detail and got sick

Each has its own driving force

• Some want to sell vegetables in the winter or the seedlings, they winter greenhouse, of course, necessary.
• Other windows of snowy pine for its fresh vegetables, ready for such a possibility on the big investments.
• There are those who have winter itch handle, to delve into the greenhouse.
• If I did a winter greenhouse, it is due to the fact that it is a pity to look like dying after one season perennial tomatoes, peppers, eggplant. And seedlings to grow directly in the greenhouse is very comfortable.

First shopped seedling greenhouses sellers. They are not quite winter, just heated if necessary. Conventional polycarbonate greenhouses on the foundation. Even not always insulated.

Electric heating cable or a bucket of coal for the night in a makeshift stove, seemed to me not very correct decision. Especially oil heaters, devouring a lot of electricity and pozharoNEbezopasnye. Infrared heating - the best you can come up with. Inexpensive out.

IR heating I have, and use it in the fall did not. Well, this is the way.

Proper winter greenhouses

Any idea of ​​underground winter greenhouses. There are usually grown expensive exotics. I have this thing did not like, so this topic has not penetrated.

Most correct ground winter greenhouses is:

• Well insulated deep foundation. It will be the most environmentally friendly foam glass or penostekolny rubble, but it is expensive. Everything else I do not think environmentally. But the next will be the roots of our vegetables. Option: cheap insulation to isolate the well. Then there unventilated environment for mold.
• Be sure the vestibule to the greenhouse in the winter could enter without running the frosty air.
• Windows, at least 2 glass with argon (Ar evaporate slowly, but is worth a penny and have time to serve)
• Ventilation system
• IR heating under a ceiling or on the wall

• Fitolampy with the correct range (lots of useless Chinese consumer goods)
• In the greenhouse is carried out water, then ideally organized drip.
• Fertilizers, in my opinion, it is better to fill the soil in advance.
• Cherry on the cake: full automation with control from your smartphone. It is already available in many greenhouses summer.

Simplify design

Lower the cost can be infinite. Here acceptable option.

• Tambour not be cut
• Polycarbonate instead of glass. It is better to double, with a gap of no more than 24 mm, to avoid condensation. Can single thicker 6-8-10 mm thick.
• The foundation of the well-treated lumber, he himself warm by themselves. The cross section of the beam, the more, the more it will be warmer. For example, 20 x 20 cm. At this point, I am embarrassed ecological timber processing. We linseed oil is expensive, but reliable and environmentally friendly.
• Automation, in my opinion, the most unreliable that just happens. So it is possible to reduce the cost of the first thing.
• Run to open and close the vents instead of the ventilation system (as we do).
• Fitolampy can find cheaper good quality.
• Infrared heaters are also very different in price. We have the budget of Leroy Merlin.
• And most importantly, it reduces the cost of winter greenhouses - a decrease in area and height.

I liked the idea of ​​a mini-greenhouse in large greenhouse on a single plant or multiple. It turns out fitolamp work purposefully, heat is retained better in a small volume. A warm fitolamp, and very significantly.

Grouboksy I do not really like it, well, anyone. all artificially too out there. A sun like plants. Nevertheless, it is quite a grouboks winter greenhouses turnkey. And once home, it is more convenient than you can imagine.

To sum up, do not want me so tense, in an attempt to extend the life of the plant. The goal does not justify the means.

And I really like it when I worked for Frost. It is hoped that at least some pests vymerznut. In the meantime, come to their senses in the spring and summer, we have at least something to have time to eat until they are eaten.
