How Large Should my Greenhouse be?

Well, it’s always a good idea to think ahead about what you plan to grow. For seedlings, herbs, and many flowers, a smaller space may suit you just fine. If you plan to grow some tropical plants, tomatoes, or zucchinis, you will need a larger space for those types of plants and larger containers.

The Benefits of Greenhouse Kits: Why You Should Consider One for Your Garden

Greenhouses are not just a luxury for avid gardeners; they are a practical and efficient way to grow plants all year round. These enclosed structures provide a controlled environment that offers numerous benefits for both novice and experienced gardeners. Let's explore some of the incredible advantages of owning a greenhouse:

1. Extended Growing Season

One of the most significant benefits of having a greenhouse is the ability to extend the growing season. Greenhouses provide a stable, warm environment that protects your plants from harsh weather conditions, such as frost, snow, or heavy rain. This allows you to start planting earlier in the spring and continue growing well into the fall or even through the winter, depending on your location.

2. Greater Variety of Plants

A greenhouse allows you to grow a more extensive variety of plants, including those that may not typically thrive in your region due to climate limitations. With a controlled environment, you can grow exotic fruits, vegetables, and flowers that would otherwise be challenging to cultivate outdoors.

3. Protection from Pests and Predators

Greenhouse kits protect your plants from pests and predators, such as insects, rodents, and birds. By keeping these unwanted visitors out, you can reduce the need for chemical pesticides and maintain a healthier, more organic garden.

4. Improved Plant Health

The controlled environment within a greenhouse helps maintain optimal growing conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and light exposure. This ensures healthier, more robust plants that are less susceptible to diseases and produce higher yields.

5. Efficient Use of Water

Greenhouses offer a more efficient use of water compared to traditional outdoor gardening. The enclosed space minimizes evaporation and runoff, allowing you to make the most of your water resources. Additionally, you can implement water-saving techniques, such as drip irrigation or rainwater collection, to further conserve water.

6. Gardening as a Therapeutic Activity

Gardening in a greenhouse can be a relaxing and therapeutic activity, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Studies have shown that gardening can improve mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Plus, the physical activity involved in tending to your plants can also help improve overall fitness and well-being.

7. Increased Self-Sufficiency

Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs in a greenhouse can increase your self-sufficiency and reduce your reliance on store-bought produce. This not only saves you money but also ensures that you have access to fresh, organic, and nutrient-rich food throughout the year.

Best plants to grow in a greenhouse

Growing plants in a greenhouse can be a rewarding experience, as it opens up the possibility of cultivating a wide range of plants that might not thrive in your outdoor garden. Here's a list of some of the best plants to grow in a greenhouse:

1. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are one of the most popular greenhouse crops because they benefit from the consistent temperature and humidity levels. Greenhouse kits also protect tomatoes from pests and diseases, allowing you to enjoy a bountiful harvest.

2. Peppers

Like tomatoes, peppers thrive in the warm and controlled environment provided by a greenhouse. Both sweet and hot pepper varieties can be grown, giving you a diverse selection of flavors to enjoy in your dishes.

3. Cucumbers

Greenhouse-grown cucumbers tend to produce higher yields than those grown outdoors. They also benefit from the protection against pests and diseases and require less pesticide use.

4. Herbs

Many herbs, such as basil, parsley, cilantro, and mint, grow well in a greenhouse. The controlled environment allows you to cultivate fresh herbs all year round, adding flavor and variety to your meals.

5. Leafy Greens

Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, kale, and Swiss chard can be grown in a greenhouse, providing a continuous supply of fresh, organic greens for your salads and other dishes. These plants thrive in cooler temperatures, making them perfect for growing during the colder months.

6. Strawberries

Strawberries can be grown in a greenhouse, allowing you to enjoy these sweet, juicy fruits earlier in the season and extending their harvest period. Greenhouses also protect strawberries from pests, such as birds and slugs, that can damage the fruit.

7. Eggplants

Eggplants require a warm and stable environment to grow, making them an excellent choice for greenhouse cultivation. The controlled conditions ensure a healthy and productive harvest.

8. Beans

Both bush and pole bean varieties can be grown successfully in a greenhouse. They benefit from the protection against pests and diseases, as well as the ability to extend their growing season.

9. Melons

Growing melons, such as cantaloupes and watermelons, in a greenhouse can result in sweeter and juicier fruits. The warm environment helps to promote faster growth and higher yields.

10. Exotic Fruits

A greenhouse is perfect for growing exotic fruits like passion fruit, papaya, and even citrus trees (lemons, oranges, etc.). These plants require a consistently warm environment that might not be possible to maintain outdoors in many regions.

These are just a few examples of the diverse range of plants that can thrive in a greenhouse. The controlled environment allows you to grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs throughout the year, regardless of the outdoor climate. Experiment with different plant varieties to discover which ones work best in your greenhouse and enjoy the benefits of fresh, homegrown produce.


Where should I put my greenhouse?

Choosing the perfect spot for your greenhouse is essential to ensure optimal growing conditions for your plants. Here are some factors to consider when deciding where to place your greenhouse:

 

1. Sunlight Exposure

Sunlight is crucial for plant growth, so select a location with maximum sunlight exposure throughout the day. Ideally, your greenhouse should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If possible, place it in a south or southeast-facing location, as these orientations receive the most sunlight.

2. Level Ground

Choose a flat, level area for your greenhouse to ensure proper drainage and stability. Uneven ground can lead to water pooling and difficulties in maintaining a stable internal environment. If needed, level the ground before installing your greenhouse.

3. Access to Water and Electricity

Your greenhouse may require access to water for irrigation and electricity for heating, cooling, and lighting systems. Ensure that the chosen location has access to these utilities if you will be using them.

4. Wind Protection

Strong winds can damage your greenhouse structure (some structures are much stronger than others) and create unstable internal conditions for your plants. If possible, place your greenhouse near a natural windbreak, such as a fence, wall, or hedgerow. Alternatively, you can create an artificial windbreak by planting tall shrubs or installing a fence.

5. Accessibility

Consider how easily you can access your greenhouse from your home or other outdoor spaces. Placing it close to your home or garden makes it more convenient to visit and maintain your plants. 

6. Room for Expansion

If you plan to expand your greenhouse in the future, ensure that there is enough space around the current structure to accommodate additional sections or accessories.

7. Soil Quality

While many greenhouse growers use raised beds or containers, if you plan to plant directly into the ground, consider the soil quality in your chosen location. Healthy, well-draining soil will provide the best foundation for your plants.

By considering these factors when choosing the location for your greenhouse, you can create an environment that promotes healthy plant growth and makes it easier to maintain your greenhouse throughout the year. Remember, it's always a good idea to check local building codes and regulations before installing your greenhouse to ensure compliance. Shop our greenhouse kits on sale now!
