We will discuss the Cold greenhouse
You begin by choosing whether the one you want is a cold greenhouse of the heated one. As you may think for cold greenhouse, it is the simplest type of greenhouses, artificial means are not applied in it such that of heat management. Thus, the plants growing is significantly dependent on the temperature outside. During fall, it is not advisable to plant frost sensitive plants because this may require heat. Cold greenhouse does not provide this feature.
A cold house does extend the growing season from that of the outdoors by trapping the heat from the sun during the day. And it provides a cozy respite for you to work away from the elements of wind and rain, it also protects plants from these same elements too. When you install a heater into your cold house it becomes a true greenhouse and it transforms the hobby of gardening into a year-round hobby.
A cold greenhouse does not prolong the growing season by trapping the right temperature during the day. However, you can have your plants right protected by external factors brought by the wind and rain. If you are to install a heater, you would be able to transform your greenhouse garden to a kind that can be used throughout the year.
The baseline temperature needed to grow greenhouse plants for winter season is 45 degree Fahrenheit ( 7.2 degree Celsius) during winter so you have to make sure that you include a budget for this for your gardening during winter. You have to make it sure also, when planning greenhouse construction, make it as near as possible to your house to reduce costs for installation of electrical requirements and digging- and plumbing too. This also provide a quick access that you may need during winter.
Remember to prepare all the necessary requirements for gardening in greenhouse because it is no joke when you commit failure on this.
