    Root crops in the greenhouse
    The earth in the greenhouse is loose, fertile, as we fertilize and mulch it every year. But I plant tomatoes in it spaciously, so that the bushes do not interfere with each other. Therefore, every time I want a free space to do something.
    Last season, I decided to plant a row of carrots on one bed (it is made of sleepers and upholstered with metal from the inside) at a distance of 10 cm from the side, and Margelan radish on the other. Only thinning was left: no weeding was required, and watering and top dressing came from tomatoes.
    Digging root crops in early October - it was necessary to free and prepare the greenhouse for the new season. The carrots that I have grown this way for more than once have turned out to be a feast for the eyes - smooth, dry, healthy, 15–20 cm long. I have never succeeded on a regular garden bed. With 3 linear m collected a large bucket of root crops. But with the radish came a slip. Since the second half of July, I stopped watering tomatoes, and, apparently, there was little moisture in the radish. So she did not grow up.

    I want the garden to look beautiful, and the plants feel comfortable. This I lead to a story about my ordeals with a greenhouse for cucumbers.
    I used to cover a greenhouse made of 1,7 × 1,5 m arcs with plastic wrap. With a strong wind, the film flew off. And next year the material already looked untidy. In addition, it was necessary to water the cucumbers growing there even in the rain, because moisture did not pass through the film.
    Last year I made a shelter from white non-woven material. Cloth cut in half and stitched on the sewing machine, making a seam in the middle. That in the wind the fabric does not fly off, pro-
    she let her not only on top, but also in two places under the arc.
    I cut out the sidewalls and stitched them to the base. That sidewall, where the entrance, made a little wider and connected to the main canvas is not completely. I attached 3 ribbons to this not sewn side and exactly the same ones to the base. They are easy to tie and untie.
    Cucumbers themselves feel great under such cover: they are provided with ventilation, rain watering. Do not open every morning, and close polyethylene in the evening, as before. Nonwoven material is perfectly erased and a few years looks like new. It is important only that it is of high density.

    After the construction of a greenhouse of polycarbonate, a ventilation problem arose. I found the scheme of ventilation on the Internet with the help of two cans and a window leaf on the axes. But the window was constantly jammed, and even in the vacuum can often sucked the water.
    Ready-made devices are sold, but they are all designed for straight-line greenhouse surfaces, and expensive. What I've done?
    Has got in shop a room thermostat with temperature adjustment from 0 to 30 °. channel cylindrical fan 0 125 mm and metal hose 125 mm
    In order for the system to work correctly and without failures, I set the thermostat so that sunlight does not fall on it. I have a chipboard, and the end of the metal hose hangs along the edge of the greenhouse at a height of 300 mm from the ground on the north side. On the opposite side of the six-meter greenhouse, I cut two frames with a non-woven material with a density of 40, which ensures good ventilation during the day and protection of plants from cooling at night. The thermostat is set at a temperature of 25 °, at a height of 1 m from the ground. When the temperature rises above 25 °, the system works and air is forced into the greenhouse.
    Fan power 20 Watt per hour. The switch of this system is on the veranda of the house.
    And if the greenhouse is 9 meters high, you can additionally install a second fan, and on the opposite side, insert a wooden frame with a nonwoven material into the upper opening above the door to improve the ventilation.
