Advice on how to make a greenhouse for cucumbers

In the spring, when it’s time to plant cucumber seedlings, and there are still frosts at night, a greenhouse is the most necessary thing in the garden. And even with rain and hail, any crop will have a hard time. Therefore, every gardener thinks about the question of how to make a greenhouse for cucumbers.

Tips for making a greenhouse

The place where the greenhouse will be located should be sunny, preferably windless. Next, decide on the size of the greenhouse, based on the territory allocated for these purposes.

Greenhouse elements:

1. The pit is 50-70 centimeters.
2. A layer of thermal insulation. Gravel, sand or crushed stone are suitable for these purposes.
3. Organic litter that warms the greenhouse. Organic material can be straw, humus or leaves.
4. Biofuel, preferably horse manure.
5. Box Made from wood or slate.
6. The frame is made of wide metal rods.

How to make a greenhouse for cucumbers:

1. At the bottom of the dug pit we pour a layer of thermal insulation.
2. On top, pour a thick layer of organic material and manure, which we cover with 20-30 centimeters of soil. Before planting seedlings, the soil should be watered with hot water a week before. The rotting will be provided by heating the greenhouse.
3. A box is knocked down along the perimeter of the pit.
4. A frame is bent from rods, which is attached to the box with hinges.
5. The final touch is covering the frame with film.

Some vegetable growers, whose greenhouses are not very large, now use stretch film instead of regular greenhouse film. It does not sag, and when covering the greenhouse, it forms air cushions.Thanks to these pillows, the temperature in the greenhouse is much higher than when covered with a film intended for this purpose.
