It might seem that luscious green lettuce in early spring or handsome tomatoes without discoloration can only be found in supermarkets - often imported from abroad, and even if Polish, stuffed with chemicals.

See how easilyyou can have a practical and aesthetic greenhouse , which will extend the growing season and blend in perfectly with your garden!
Vegetables from the greenhouse
What can I gain by growing plants in a greenhouse?
Garden greenhouses , like foil covers, extend the growing season. However, greenhouses are much more durable, and the cultivation results achieved in them are much better than under a foil cover. Even aunheated greenhousewill allow you to grow plants from mid-February to the turn of October and November.
This will give you a lettuce or radish six to seven weeks earlier than with standard garden beds. It is also worth knowing thatlettuce grown in a greenhouseon cultivation tables or in containers, thanks to isolation from the soil, is much less susceptible to diseases, leaves dirty from the ground, and it will be easier for you to dose fertilizers and water it properly.
Even betterthe advantages of a greenhouse are revealedin the case of thermophilic vegetables, such as cucumbers, peppers or the much-loved tomatoes.In a warm greenhouse, these vegetables mature better, which translates into their better taste. They are not bothered by winds and their leaves are not wet by rains (remember, however, to irrigate them directly on the soil in the greenhouse), thanks to which they are much less ill and you avoid the need to spray them with chemical protection agents. Iftomatoes are grown in a garden greenhouse , properly applied nettle manure as a fertilizer and a natural garlic decoction as a pest control spray will be all these plants need for he althy growth.
Alreadyfrom February in the greenhouse you can also sowannual flowers, which need quite a lot of time from sowing to flowering. Thanks to this, you will get a good seedling of perennials or ever-flowering begonias that no professional grower would be ashamed of.
Thanks to the garden greenhouse, I can grow vegetables in an ecological way, because the greenhouse itself protects them.I sow the seeds for seedlings in February, at home, on the window sill. Thanks to the greenhouse, I do not have to wait to plant the seedlings until the risk of frost is over - already at the end of March or at the beginning of April, the seedlings go to the greenhouse. My husband and I grow mainly tomatoes under its cover. They are so large that we support them on specially hung strings.

How to avoid common greenhouse problems?
But I have to be honest with you -garden greenhousesare not only about the advantages. Greenhouse owners can complain about breaking glass, necessary repairs, fear that the structure will collapse under the weight of snow, and sometimes the price and the need to put a heavy structure in the garden, requiring laborious work …
If that's what you think about a garden greenhouse, I agree with you that it used to be like that. Fortunately, thesebeliefs aboutgarden greenhouses can be put to rest.Today your greenhouse can be light, very durable, 100% safe and although it is more expensive than a plastic tunnel at the time of purchase, it will definitely be much cheaper to use later!
The solution that will allow you to avoid all the above-mentioned problems that the owners of typical glass-covered garden greenhouses may face are easy to installpolycarbonate greenhousesThese are greenhouses with a light but durable structure made of aluminum, and the glass has been replaced with transparent polycarbonate plates. Growing in these greenhouses is pure pleasure, which I will prove to you in a moment: -)
I saw such a modern greenhouse at my neighbor's. I remember when he brought some parcels to the plot and on the same day there was a greenhouse at his place. We all envied him. It was 5 years ago, and the greenhouse still stands on his plot today. Sometimes I also use it, because the neighbor gives us his seedlings of flowers and vegetables.This year I want to build such a greenhouse myself, because nowadays polycarbonate greenhouses are much cheaper.

Why is it worth having a polycarbonate greenhouse?
What really changes polycarbonate as a greenhouse covering material? Here are the top 5 benefits forpolycarbonate greenhouse !
1. You will feel safe in the garden!
First of all, polycarbonate is plastic and therefore unbreakable. This greatly increases your safety when you are in the greenhouse. In addition,polycarbonate greenhousesblock harmful UV radiation, letting only he althy sunlight pass through for plants to grow.
2. Your plants will grow faster than under glass
Polycarbonate used to cover the greenhouse transmits a lot of sunlight (over 90% light transmittance), while providing better thermal insulation.Polycarbonate greenhousesprovide up to 5 times better thermal insulation compared to glass-covered greenhouses, which means your plants are better protected from the cold and therefore grow he althier and faster. And in the case of a heated greenhouse - you gain a lot of energy savings needed to keep the heat in the greenhouse. Such an effect is mainly achieved by panels made of heat-insulating double polycarbonate plates, used inPalram greenhouses
3. Easy rotation and he althy plant growth ensured
"For plants such as tomatoes and peppers, it is very important to alternate, that is, to grow in a different place in the garden each year. Thanks to this, the crops are not attacked by pests and diseases that have wintered the bed. While in the case of a standard, heavy greenhouse, which is a permanent structure, it is virtually impossible to change thelight polycarbonate greenhouse , weighing about 45 kg, you can easily and quickly switch to new place.Thanks to this, polycarbonate greenhouses are as mobile as foil tunnels.

4. Easy installation and low maintenance costs for the greenhouse
The construction of aluminum profiles and polycarbonate cover make all elements light and much more durable than in a glass-covered greenhouse. This makes it much easier to assemblepolycarbonate greenhouse , so that everyone can do it on their own, and the elements of the greenhouse can be transported to the plot, e.g. in the trunk of a car, without fear that something will break or break.
Garden greenhouses made of polycarbonateare not threatened by gusts of wind or even heavy snowfall. It is worth knowing that polycarbonate greenhouses do not change their properties in the temperature range from -50 to + 50 ° C, so it is not necessary to disassemble them for the winter, or repair or replace damaged foil, as in the case of foil tunnels.Once bought, a greenhouse will last for years, without the need for maintenance or repair (manufacturers of good quality polycarbonate greenhouses give a 5-year warranty). And although at the time of purchase, such a greenhouse costs more than a similar-sized foil tunnel, in the following years it rewards it with the convenience of use and reliability.
Note!In our climatic conditions, in places exposed to strong winds, in the case of having a polycarbonate greenhouse of lower quality, it may happen that the polycarbonate panels will vibrate slightly under the influence of the wind. If this happens to us, we can strengthen their fixing using a colorless silicone. This simple solution is recommended by gardeners at several gardening forums. However, it is best to avoid cheap products in supermarkets and buy good quality polycarbonate greenhouses, such as Palram greenhouses, available at Ogrodosfera.pl
5. Aesthetics and comfort in your garden

Greenhouses can be equipped with standing and hanging shelves, plant hangers, an automatic window opener or a shade, which will make greenhouse cultivation gain new possibilities, and plant care becomes easy and convenient. Additionally, you can decide on a greenhouse made of matt panels, which will provide us with more discretion when staying in the greenhouse.
