How to make a greenhouse for cucumbers

In essence, the greenhouse is a covered frame structure for early growing garden crops - greenery, radish, tomatoes and, of course, cucumbers. Planning the construction of country greenhouses? We will tell you where to place it, from which materials to build and how to heat.

The installation site of the cucumber. To the selection of the placement of the greenhouse, you must take the most responsible - from this factor directly depends on the ease of operation of the design and the yield of future landing. To install the greenhouse, the most illuminated and protected from the wind is perfect. It is advisable to build a cucumber in the East-Western direction - with this arrangement of the shadow from the frameworks will be minimal, and the sun's rays can penetrate the seedlings at the right angle.

Selection of material for the frame. Frame base is the main design element of the greenhouse. For the manufacture of the crate, it is important to choose high-quality wear-resistant materials, because in addition to the weight of the coating, it should withstand wind loads. Most often, wood, metal or plastic is used to build the island. Wooden bars are usually chosen for the construction of a compact temporary greenhouse, steel pipes - to build a more massive design. When choosing a material, consider that wood will cost much cheaper than metal, but also serves a relatively long. Frames made from PVC profile - the optimal option in the ratio of price-quality. As for the form of the foundation, the older greenhouses of the tunnel type are most sustainable and reliable.

Choosing a coating. A dense polyethylene or reinforced film can be used as an injection material for a greenhouse, however, a coating of cellular polycarbonate is considered more practical and durable. This polymeric material with a cellular structure is distinguished by the following advantages:

high thermal insulation indicators;
reliable protection of plants from ultraviolet;
fast assembly and disassembly;
convenience of operation;
resistance to adverse weather conditions;
fire resistance.

Preparation of a plot for a greenhouse. Regardless of how building materials you give preference, install the greenhouse design is necessary on the prepared and disinfected base. First, remove the top layer of the soil from the laid area, carefully disappear the ground, passing the lumps and choosing the garbage, large stones, the roots of weed plants and larvae insect pests. Then, treat the soil with hot heatmanship solution - such prophylaxis is necessary to eliminate infectious and bacterial diseases of subsequent landings.

Greenhouse heating. To maintain a constant temperature in the greenhouse, most of the gloomy uses biofuels - domestic animals. The algorithm of insulation of the cucumber is quite simple - side walls in the prepared earthy deepening to open the foam, and the bottom of the layerly fill in non-dried leaves, straw, peat crumb and manure. Fertile soil sput the last place directly on the organic. Consider that over time, the puff substrate will significantly fall, so "cake" must be high.

Useful tips of experienced summer residents:

non-compliance with the conditions of detention of seedlings in a greenhouse (soil moistening, cold watering, low air temperature, increased level of humidity) is fraught with various diseases of cucumbers;
in the case when there are many stocks, and there are few cucumbers - there is a little more likely, the plant lacks nutrition (perfect feeding for cucumbers - a coward);
drafts and sharp drops of temperatures are extremely disadvantaged for cucumbers, so open the greenhouse for airbust only on one side;
collect the harvest regularly (every 1-2 days), the cucumbers are incomplete in time inhibit the formation and growth of new bandy.
