Most people understand that green houses are great for growing plants better than simply leaving them to weather in outside conditions, but here at Mr Fixing It we wish to share with you the benefits of having a green house in your back garden. With a green house you have the power to control pests as well as temperature and humidity, you simply create the perfect growing conditions.

Drought and flood are barely an issue with a green house as you control, to the enth degree, how much water your plants get, with combination of temperature control and climate control this allows you to extend or alter the growing season which over all can increase yield off of plants such as tomato and pepper plants, for example. This is especially useful in the northern hemisphere where the spring and summer is collectively shorter so that the green house allows there to be a longer artificial summer.

A green house can be analogised to the same way your car heats up on a hot day, the light and heat energy enter through the glass and is captured on the inside however, unlike your car a greenhouse will include some sort of open window or fan that will reduce the amount of heat inside to stop it from becoming to excessive. Of course because the heat gets trapped it remains within the greenhouse over night so that flowering plants do not need to deal with frost or dew.

Greenhouses also have the added benefits of being automated so that you may set them up by a monitor to irrigate your system, as well as automatic cooling systems which can turn fans on or off or open and close windows when they are required instead of having to be done so manually.

There are also many types of greenhouses, made from a different selection of materials that can also be a benefit to the overall structure of the greenhouse system as well as coming in greenhouse kits that are large or small so that they can be constructed by yourself or larger greenhouses that can be installed by the DIY store or Garden centre that you may purchase them from, when purchasing a greenhouse you need to plan for the purpose that you will utilise it.

When installing a new greenhouse or restoring an old one there will be a cost involved, and before doing so you must decide whether the benefits out weigh the costs or whether growing plants or vegetables outside would be better suited.

I hope that you now understand a few of the more introspective benefits of having a greenhouse, instead of just the fact that it will produce some lovely plants or delicious home-grown vegetables. Until next time, from your greenhouse theorists at Mr Fixing It.
