When you have taken delivery of your swanky new greenhouse, then after erecting it and then stroking it lovingly for twenty minutes in admiration, you may actually want to get on and do some gardening. When you do so you will soon realize that whilst the greenhouse itself provides the basic fundamentals for growing fantastic plants and vegetables, that many of the basic tools that you need to really make working in it possible will be missing, and you will want to consider buying some greenhouse accessories.
Greenhouse accessories are now a rather developed market, and there is a lot of choice when it comes to the range of gadgetry that is available to enhance your greenhouse experience.
Here are Three Essential Greenhouse Accessories you MUST Buy:
1. Buy some transparent UV Repair Tape
This is not expensive. In fact it generally can be purchased for considerably less than ten dollars, but is nevertheless a MUST BUY. The fact is that even with the most careful owner in the world a greenhouse is still a place where accidents can and do happen. And whilst generally when the owner of the greenhouse cuts their thumb, or drops something heavy on their foot, it is a relatively simple matter to repair it. The same cannot be said about the greenhouse itself.
Greenhouses are VERY robust generally, but because of the way they are constructed with so many panes of glass or transparent PVC, there are a lot of joints throughout that can potentially negatively affect the convection that is the source of a greenhouses ability to make plants grow.
What transparent UV repair tape allows you to do is to quickly patch up any leaks of air that may be present, either because you didn’t construct the greenhouse totally correctly, or else because a pane got knocked out of place, or because of some movement in the greenhouse itself.
This is worth getting immediately, because you want to be in a position to plug any leaks immediately when you notice them, rather than having to rush out to the store and potentially have the viability of your plants compromised whilst the greenhouse is not working at its best capability.
2. Buy a Greenhouse Shading Kit
Another exciting accessory that won’t have come with your greenhouse is a greenhouse shading kit. This is essential in very hot climates where too much sun exposure can actually end up damaging the plants and flowers. A greenhouse shading kit allows the gardener to cover the roof of the greenhouse at specified times, when the temperature is simply too hot.
An example of this might be around the period of the noonday sun, when rather than helping the plants; the sun may be having detrimental effects.
You can overcome these problems by getting a shading kit that protects your plants during particularly hot weather.
3. Buy a Slug Trap Accessory
The last real “must have” greenhouse accessory is a slug trap.
Slugs are the bane of most gardeners’ existence, and so it is no surprise that getting rid of them has been got down to something of a science.
In a greenhouse environment all of your precious plants are on open display for any creeping critter to snack on as they see fit. So coming up with methods to stop that from happening is essential if you want to still have some plants uneaten at the end of the season.
There are many other greenhouse accessories that you can buy, but these three are musts that every greenhouse aficionado should have!
