Growing tips
Start a new compost pile in advance for the next growing season.
Night frost is certainly possible and try to harvest anything that cannot withstand it. If it snows, feel free to put a thick layer of snow in the greenhouse, it will melt and make your soil ‘healthier’.
You can work it coarsely and cover it with organic material such as hay, straw, fallen leaves or a layer of farmyard manure. Another option is to sow green manures on the patch of land. These insure that the free space will be kept free of weeds and will improve the soil structure.
Maintenance
- Check the nuts and bolts of your ACD® Prestige greenhouse
- Check all moving parts
- Remove and stor automatic window openers
- If snow, remove it from around the greenhouse, as well as from the roof
