Why Buy a Greenhouse Monday, June 19, 2017 A greenhouse opens up a whole new world of gardening possibilities, but it’s understandable if you’re on the fence about whether you should make the investment.
Hydroponic gardening offers a unique growing experience, utilizing a soil-less technique that has been proven to increase yield and conserve water. Not only is this a practical approach to gardening, but also it’s an ancient one. Just think of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or the Floating Gardens of Ancient China.
One of the most important preparation tasks you can do to ready your greenhouse for spring involves a deep cleaning. Not only is this a nice way to give yourself and your greenhouse a fresh start as you approach a new growing season, but also—and more importantly—it helps rid your gardening space of any lingering pests.
Enthusiasm is an admirable trait for the beginning greenhouse gardener, but don’t let it overshadow the practical steps you should take to ensure your efforts are successful.
