Many novice gardeners wonder where it is best to place a greenhouse to get a full harvest.
There are several important nuances that need to be taken into account when planning a future location.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what to do with a greenhouse.
Orientation of the greenhouse relative to the cardinal directions.
Ideally, the greenhouse should be located in an east-west direction so that the plants receive the maximum amount of daylight.
If the location is chosen incorrectly, the plants will receive less light, which can lead to poor growth, fruit destruction and other negative consequences.
Wind protection
Greenhouse structures are easily destroyed by strong winds, so when choosing a location, you should pay attention to an area where it will be protected from strong gusts of wind.
It is not recommended to install a greenhouse on open plains and in places where strong winds often penetrate.
Access to water
A greenhouse needs enough water to grow plants.
It is best to install a greenhouse near a water source, be it a pond or a well, for the convenience of daily watering.
Soil quality
Growing plants in a greenhouse, as well as in an open area, depends on the quality of the soil.
It is recommended to choose a place with fertile soil, well drained and not flooded after rain.
Lighting level
Plants need to receive the maximum amount of light for normal development, so it is best to install the greenhouse in places with good lighting during the day.
The right choice of location for a greenhouse will help to achieve maximum efficiency, and your garden will delight you with its harvest.
