Tip: prepare the greenhouse for the coming winter

Table of contents

In a greenhouse, every degree Celsius more or less affects heating costs. Therefore, it is important that the heating system is efficient, and the greenhouse is well insulated and sealed.Even small leaks at the door and window frame can lead to significant heat losses.This is not the end, however, because heat also escapes through the walls, the point is to minimize these losses.

We can do it by insulating the greenhouse with bubble foil (bubbles 2-3 cm in diameter). However, anyone who thinks that the foil is attached to the outside is wrong. On the contrary, we attach it inside the greenhouse.

As a result, less light gets inside the greenhouse, the balance is still a plus.Well, it was calculated that the light losses amount to approx. 10%, but the heat gain to approx. 30%.

Air humidity in the greenhouse should be 40-60%. We can control it with a hygrometer (hygrometer). Too high air humidity promotes the development of fungal diseases.Greenhouses need to be aired - regularly, but only for a short timeTo prevent water condensation from forming on the leavesIt is also good to install a fan.
