Construction of greenhouse

What dachnik does not dream to grow in his area a high yield of tomatoes, pepper, cucumbers?! But the climatic conditions are not everywhere and do not always allow ZTO to make in the open ground: then the return cold (freezing) is grupped already planted seedlings, then rains pour a bed. Therefore, for myself, I decided exactly-need a greenhouse! And how to build it, the life itself prompted.

Now, many are changing old window frames with glass on modern plastic windows. The idea came to mind: this is the same building material for the greenhouse! Costs - minimum! Yes, and all in our family love to make their own hands!
The first - chose a place under the greenhouse, well lit, the solar (southern side of the site), stated a construction site taking into account the size of the window frames. The second - made a column foundation. You can, of course, without a foundation, but
Then it is necessary to process wooden blocks with exhaust machine oil, under them to put rubberoid so that the tree does not come into contact with the ground and lasts longer. The third - constructed a wooden frame. It remained only to fix old windows to it and cover the roof of a cellular polycarbonate. And with it coped! It is even necessary for several frames easily open to ventilating the greenhouse. That's all, a house for vegetables is ready! Pretty spacious: 2.5 m wide, 5 m in length, 1.8 m in height at the edges and more than 2 m - in the center.
Glass provides good traffic permeability. Plants here are also comfortable because the humidity (and condensate) in such greenhouses is less than in the film. This is very important when growing tomatoes, the crops of which they always make me. Squeezing Mazarini, Retrol, Orange Giant, Bull Heart. For canning, I really liked the newcomer and Rio Fuhago, the original color of the Black Mavr and the sweet fruits of the golden drop. From peppers Favorite varieties Amethyst, Golden Anniversary, Novogogošara, Bogatyr, California Miracle. Every holiday season I try to purchase and plant any new.
We grow tomatoes and pepper through seedlings. Pepper seeds in the second decade of February immediately in separate cups so that seedlings do not dive, they do not like a transplant. SEW Tomatoes in the first decade of March, dive in the phase of two real leaves. In the greenhouse, seedlings land in the first decade of May. In the wells when landing, add a handful of wood ash and 1 tsp. Superphosphate, abundantly irrigate. After landing, I install even additionally arcs and shelter with nonwoven underfloor material. This contributes to the best suspiciousness of seedlings, saves from sunburn, saves from cooling.

I have my own method of irrigation of tomatoes. For this, I use plastic bottles T, 5-2 liters of water. I cut off the bottom and when dippeding near each bustle, the neck down the bottle down. In these tanks, pour water, feeding. With this method, water does not appear on the ground, does not overeating the air, but comes directly to the roots. For peppers, a small humidity is necessary, so I water them in the usual way, but I must mulch the soil.

• By the way
The life of a wooden greenhouse usually does not exceed 3-5 years. So that it stoke longer, the frame is treated with iron vitrios, and then the oil. In addition, you can successfully apply any modern means of canning wood. During construction, it is desirable to use the most durable breeds (larch, oak, pine tree) and put on a reliable foundation made of concrete.
