Greenhouse structures at their summer cottage have never been surprising. Many vegetable and flower crops are grown under these conditions. However, the construction of such a device requires a lot of labor and financial costs from the owner of the garden. Even if the greenhouse is small, a lot of effort will have to be made in its manufacture. But such troubles will pay off very quickly

When grown correctly, the crop can amaze with its abundance, quality and volume. Nowadays it is rare to find a garden or a summer cottage where there is no greenhouse. If we consider the question of whether it is worth installing such a structure on your summer cottage, then the answer in any case will be unequivocal - yes.

In fact, the benefits and positive characteristics of greenhouse structures are due to a variety of aspects. For example, many of the crops grown in Russian vegetable gardens are of tropical or subtropical origin. Many of them require the provision of "native" conditions. As a result, and the key goal of creating a greenhouse on the site is to provide a favorable temperature, humidity and other criteria for the growth and development of such plants.

The temperature regime is important for most of the plants grown in summer cottages. Incorrectly selected indicators can negatively affect the appearance of the crop and its yield. In some cases, this even leads to the death of vegetables and flowers. In the open air, the temperature is always in a gradual increase or decrease. An abrupt change in regime is extremely rare. The soil is also heated and cooled.

In a greenhouse structure, the temperature can be increased very quickly. But here there is an interesting feature - above, the air can be warm, and below the soil is not yet warmed up enough. In such a situation, the root system may simply not have time to provide moisture to the entire plant. Thus, the culture lacks moisture. Heat-loving and moisture-loving crops may be under stress at this moment. In the daytime, such plants in the greenhouse are heated and it becomes hot for them, although summer residents can open the doors and windows of the greenhouse for ventilation. In the evening, on the contrary, it becomes cool in the garden itself, and the growth of vegetables or flowers temporarily stops. In the greenhouse, however, it continues further, since warm air can remain here for a long time.

Various greenhouse plants with heating perfectly save from frost. In the spring season, a polyethylene film can be laid on the glass top of the greenhouse structure. It is attached to the device with adhesive tape. The beds inside the greenhouse are prepared during the autumn season. In the spring, they can also be briefly covered with foil material. Already in April, seedlings can be planted here. In good weather, the plants thrive both in the greenhouse and in open beds. But on cloudy days, crops planted in greenhouse structures remain well developed. The sun's rays warm the air inside the greenhouse qualitatively. Plants feel comfortable and cozy in such devices.

Summer residents, when growing different plants in a greenhouse, ventilate the room every day and monitor the temperature regime. Thus, the crops in the greenhouse feel the most comfortable. Modern manufacturers offer a huge variety of such devices. Some of them are equipped with sensors that monitor humidity, temperature, illumination and other parameters. Experienced gardeners make their own greenhouses that include thermostats and fans. You can also make bimetallic devices that allow you to quickly change the air temperature.

It is important to monitor the greenhouse crops and lighting. Some plants require long daylight hours. In the event of a lack of lighting, bell peppers, cucumbers and other vegetables will grow slowly and poorly. To do this, it is necessary to provide them with additional highlighting. Fluorescent lamps are excellent devices for this purpose. They do not glow, so they do not change the temperature and humidity indicators in the greenhouse. UV lamps are also suitable. Their added benefit will be to promote faster plant development. But do not use ordinary bulbs for this purpose.
