Greenhouse or greenhouse? Let's figure it out together

 Since ancient times, when the cultivation of cultivated plants was considered a novelty, many novice gardeners seriously thought about preserving and increasing yields on their own land. This was especially true for problematic climatic zones, in cold summer conditions. The greenhouse and greenhouse that appeared over time - protective structures helped to solve this problem, and up to our time remain indispensable attributes of a good harvest.

Mainly, the buildings are designed to protect crops from insect pests, temperature fluctuations and natural disasters, in a word, the harmful effects of the environment. However, greenhouses (for their intended purpose) and greenhouses are also used for growing seedlings, i.e. plants under certain conditions are trained for planting in open ground.

Differences between "greenhouse" and "greenhouse".

The simplest construction for assembly was originally a greenhouse - the same greenhouse, but smaller, with no heating, covered with glass frames. The greenhouse was limited in height, and the heat inside was maintained only by the sun's rays or manure scattered over the beds.

Greenhouses appeared later, but their general appearance, design, opportunities for growing plants have progressed markedly. For the first time, a material such as polyethylene film was used. Thanks to such a coating, the new structure remained light and strong enough, in no way inferior to the then imperfect greenhouse. The idea of ​​heating, however, was borrowed from existing greenhouses designed for the cultivation of exotic plants. Nowadays, there is the possibility of gas, electric or wood heating - heating the soil inside the greenhouse. Thanks to this, it was possible to grow plants all year round, without fear for the safety of the crop, even in the most severe winter.

As a result, we can say that the main differences between a greenhouse and a greenhouse are the dimensions of the structure, the presence of artificial heating, and the versatility of operation.

Views

Greenhouses and greenhouses also differ in design, purpose and season of operation.

By design and arrangement: arched, wall, tunnel, -mini, domed, etc.

By appointment: vegetables, seedlings and vegetables.

By periods and season of operation: winter (year-round) and autumn-spring.

Peculiarities

One way or another, before installing a greenhouse, and even more so a greenhouse, summer residents ask a number of questions regarding mainly financial costs, the location of the building, the frequency of use, the cultivation of certain crops and the care system.

How much will you have to spend?

If an ordinary greenhouse using glass frames can be easily met in an acceptable amount, then the construction of a greenhouse, and especially a year-round one, due to its complexity, will cost a summer resident very dearly. This primarily depends on the variety of materials: film, glass, plastic, cellular polycarbonate. It is also worth considering the need for regular investments in the growing process for competent lighting and heating of the greenhouse structure, so as not to suffer losses.

Where is the best location for the greenhouse / greenhouse?

For a building to reach its full potential, a place with a high concentration of sunlight is needed. It is also desirable that there is enough territory, becauseit is often both expensive and unprofitable to install greenhouses that are too small.

How often should you use it?

Here, everyone can already answer for himself - do you visit the country a couple of times a year or do you run a permanent household? In the first case, the solution is a collapsible model of a greenhouse or greenhouse, which you can easily handle with your own hands. If you need year-round use, your choice is a stationary model.

What to grow?

Most often, crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, and all kinds of seedlings are used for growing in greenhouse conditions. It should be borne in mind that greenhouses, unlike greenhouses, are more suitable just for seedlings than for growing, due to the limited possibilities that are inferior to the greenhouse. Do not forget about the cultural neighborhood - some plants simply may not take root with each other.

How difficult is the care?

The most important factor in harvesting is internal harvesting: removal of vegetation residues, all kinds of bundles and garters for plants, stuck leaves. Digging up the soil for subsequent cultivation is also carried out. There is also a place to mention disinfection with the help of sulfur checkers - the most common means of treating summer cottages. It is a kind of excellent prevention against mold, fungal and infectious diseases.
Before the onset of winter, year-round greenhouses are subjected to a process of so-called conservation - checking the integrity of all glasses, hinges, valves, additional reinforcement. In winter, snow accumulations should be cleared around the perimeter as well as from the greenhouse roof.

Summing up, the main and fundamental point is the question of the purpose of this or that building for the cultivation of cultivated plants. Everyone must decide for himself - to use a greenhouse or a greenhouse for his own garden or, perhaps, for a year-round business. In any case, you should take a responsible approach to this issue and first analyze all the necessary information before taking on the construction.
