12" Tall Greenhouse for Oval Galvanized Raised Garden Bed

Plant needs
Warmth and humidity promote plant growth. Plants need moisture, warmth and light to grow. A greenhouse stabilises the growing environment by buffering the ambient temperature and protecting the plants from extreme cold. This extends the growing season at both ends, so in late winter and early spring it enhances the growing conditions for plants and allows them to start into growth earlier than they would when growing outdoors. This enables the greenhouse gardener to sow earlier and reap the benefits of the extended growing season, with earlier flowers and harvest. By sowing successionally, i.e. a few seeds every couple of weeks a greenhouse grower can reap a harvest well into autumn especially by using the greenhouse environment to nurture late sown seedlings.

Minimising problems
The greenhouse can also protect your plants from a range of pests and diseases. By keeping on top of small pest outbreaks, your greenhouse can become an oasis free from flying pests such as adult aphids, egg laying butterflies and all manner of other plant munchers. You won’t keep them all out because your ventilation provision will allow some access, but you can minimise problems significantly and also utlise a range of biological controls that can virtually be confined to your greenhouse growing space where they can deal naturally with any pest outbreaks without the need for toxic chemicals. That means you can grow organic produce for the family too!
