    Making the Most of Your Growing Season with a Greenhouse

    By the turn of the century, about a third of the world’s population will live in climatically harsh areas, such as deserts downwind of industrial centres. But perhaps more important to our future world than Desert blooms are temperatures that are 15 to 20 °F.

     

    As the global population rises and technological and medical advances lengthen life spans, the need for food, fiber, and fuel increases. Crop and livestock producers are challenged with maintaining profitability due to increasing costs of inputs and shrinking profit margins. Long-term changes in environmental conditions can further complicate this.

     

    We are on the cusp of a food-producing revolution. How do we keep it from wrecking the planet? You’ve got your answer. Greenhouse Production.

     

    A greenhouse is a structure made of transparent material, such as glass or plastic. Greenhouses are growing rapidly in popularity worldwide and are favored in northern latitudes for their ability to provide food all year long. There is a continued interest in alternative greenhouse designs to reduce costs and enhance energy efficiency.

     

    Is Greenhouse Investment A Good Decision?

    You think greenhouses are outdated, expensive, and not worth the investment. But you will be surprised at statistics that say otherwise. Moreover, Greenhouse farming could be a better solution than many other resources for fighting against global warming.

     

    Lots of green opportunities may have been brewing in recent times. Growers, particularly on the West Coast, are capitalizing on greenhouses to take advantage of the seasonality of fruits and vegetables. Before investing in a commercial greenhouse, you need to learn the basic things required to help maintain and have a peaceful time inside the greenhouse.

     

    The Impact of Greenhouse Structures

    Greenhouse structures can have a powerful impact on your business. A greenhouse structure can do much more than provide better growing conditions, control temperature, and improve yields. Greenhouse structures can also increase worker safety and provide a more pleasant work environment.

    The greenhouse structures fabricated from greenhouse plastics offer innumerable advantages over other types of heat-friendly enclosures. The greenhouse structures are energy efficient. Also, the maintenance costs are low. They are suitable for all kinds of greenhouses, both commercial and domestic.

     

    When considering the appropriate width for your greenhouse structure, you must consider the reason for installing a greenhouse. Small greenhouses of widths 8 to 12 feet are ideal for hobbyist growers since they can straddle a narrow space are easy to maintain, cheap to run, and efficient. But for commercial purposes, you can consider a greenhouse of 20 feet and above.

     

    Choosing a Heating System for your Greenhouse

    Greenhouse heating systems can be a great investment for growers. You can heat your greenhouse during the cold winter months and keep it warm during early spring and late fall (when the weather is still chilly and unpleasant for plants).

     

    You can use several heating systems for a greenhouse. The type of greenhouse heating system typically depends on the greenhouse’s season, location, and size. Greenhouse heating typically comes from electric or propane heaters. A natural gas or oil heater is also a possibility for a greenhouse.

    Use your computer and the Internet to compare available heating systems and features. Then be sure to purchase the heating system you like best.

     

    Ventilation Systems for Your Greenhouse

    Ventilation is important for a greenhouse — not only for controlling temperature and humidity but also for creating a comfortable space for plants and people. A poorly designed ventilation system can lead to an overheated greenhouse.

    Heat is moved out of the greenhouse during the growing season in several different ways. Evaporative cooling is most often used to comfort-cool greenhouses during cloudy and humid weather days. At night or on very hot days, greenhouse ventilation fans pull cooler outside air into the structure.

     

    By following these simple principles of heating, cooling, and fan use, you will be able to provide ventilation while keeping the heat in your greenhouse when you want it and keeping the bugs out.

     

    Greenhouse Climate Control Solutions 

    For many, a greenhouse offers the opportunity to grow plants and vegetables that otherwise would not survive in the local climate. But maintaining a proper temperature, at first for germination and later to support the plants as they grow is the biggest challenge most growers face in a greenhouse. A climate control solution will provide a comfortable environment for your plants, including an ideal temperature and humidity level.

     

    Hire Professional Greenhouse Installers to Build your Dream Greenhouse

    You may be tempted to build your greenhouse yourself when considering the cost of making one. But you shouldn’t. Greenhouse structures can cost a great deal of money, but you can lessen the cost if you hire a professional to help you plan your greenhouse project.

     

    To Modify and optimize your greenhouse experience, start with a quality company that offers custom packages for your greenhouse environment.

     

    When budgeting out a greenhouse, there are many things to think about, but it’s well worth it. However, keep in mind that the average cost of a greenhouse depends on the size of the greenhouse, what types of things you want to do with it and where you want to put it.
