    -You might want to consider to leave space all around your new greenhouse, so you can fix any damage that might occur in the future or any cleaning of the sheets that might need doing (moss/algae growing etc).

    Very pleased for you Emma getting your greenhouse you will have so much fun with it you deserve it as you work so hard. I'm 72 and live in Yorkshire I've gardened for years l wish you were closer I would give you at least one of my forks after seeing yours so if your ever up here let me know once again good luck with with the G.

    🤗👍...if you buy the polycarbonate greenhouse, put a base of 6" x 6" fence posts down ( pinned to the soil) then fix the greenhouse to it so it doesn't blow away...cheapest option 😉 👍 Also, wire in each panel. 😁👍

    • @jaytee2417
      @jaytee2417 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Good advice. We did your tip after initially putting up on quite an exposed plot in a February. After the whole thing ended up elsewhere😅 With the polycarbonate panels, it being on the Alloment so not overly concerned with the aesthetic, I put that thick black tape round the frame of each panel. After the 2 recent 50mph storms it’s still intact and standing. Few lessons learned!!!

    Hi Emma - Please take heed of the comments regarding the greenhouse panels flying out - I have a similar greenhouse and had to put strengthening bars across the panels to hold them in. Please make sure you give yourself a couple of weekends with help to erect it and be absolutely sure there is no wind forecast. I do a lot of DIY and I found the greenhouse build really fiddly. Also make sure you get it absolutely level otherwise you will struggle getting the panels to slide in. Hope these comments save you from a few curses!!! Good luck and keep up the vlogs.

  • @theresabisson1040
    @theresabisson1040 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    Tying up your cauliflower leaves is essentially blanching the heads Emma, so the coloured ones will not be very coloured. Also, if you tie them as tightly as this, you are preventing air flow, which I'm guessing is why most have gone mouldy inside their little parcels 🙃. Keep experimenting, and good luck with the greenhouse prep! ❤

    I'm so excited for your greenhouse! I know some people aren't keen on polycarbonate panels, but I hope it turns out well for you, Emma.
    My small greenhouse is wooden with a full wooden back and perspex windows. I have grown loads in it.
    I think if you anchor it down properly, it should be fine.
    Well done for taking the plunge 😊

    How lovely to get a gift from fellow plot holders.
    Just a heads up regarding the greenhouse, I had a polycarbonate one on the plot I used to have, gust of heavy winds and the poly sheets would go flying!! There is one you tuber who had to put batons on either side of greenhouse to stop this problem.
    Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻

    Hi Emma as you have chosen polycarbonate Green House it would would be beneficial if you secure the panels with clear silicone i had a smaller one and the kept getting blown out but have not had any further problems withe the silicone, hope you have a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the best for the new year. ❤

    When you put the greenhouse up, prepare the ground well and if you can make a proper base for the frame to sit in that you can screw it in to otherwise the wind will take it 😂
    You could get bricks off of Facebook marketplace, dig down around the frame and cement the bricks in, probably a couple of bricks deep, you can then screw it in to the bricks and it should be extremely secure.

    Hi Emma. Be very careful with your polycarbonate greenhouse. The lady on the next plot to me had one and even though it was bolted down onto paving slabs in one of the very windy storms we had it ended up 3 plots away completely smashed. You are better off building it on railway sleepers even though they cost money it will save your greenhouse if you bolt it down. Good Luck. Mike B.

    @bluumz-n-veg วันที่ผ่านมา

    JMHO, but I'd still reconsider getting a polycarbonate one... they're not much more than a glorified polytunnel, and the panels are dislodged much easier during storms. A glass greenhouse will get/stay warmer inside and extend your growing season more. Best of luck! (Oops, I made that comment before you clicked the BUY button, LOL! Regardless, I'm sure it'll be helpful in your gardening adventures!)

They only dig to find earth worms for food as hy are hungry. If you feed it it will have no thoughts of finding food and you can't be there 24/7 to chase it away. Maybe try being a bit more tolerant and see how it goes. Great video. So exciting getting a shiny new greenhouse. So pleased for you. Happy growing 🙂

I don’t feel bad for you to keep the fox away from your allotments. They will start to feel comfortable digging and eating ip your garden and also start to have a family of their own to share your allotment with.
