Is A Basic Greenhouse Right For You? The Basic line of greenhouses serve as a wonderful introduction into the world of greenhouse gardening. Designed for the urban gardener with limited growing space, this greenhouse series will provide you with all the same great growing results as other greenhouses at an introductory price! If you are relatively new to gardening and are looking to start a few seedlings in your greenhouse and winter over some of your plants, this greenhouse is an excellent choice. Different Uses For A Basic Greenhouse The Basic series greenhouse is ideal for starting seedlings, propagating plants, wintering over plants and simply enjoying the greenhouse environment. Seed starting is very popular because it allows you to start different varieties of plants that are generally healthier than the ones you purchase from the store, and at a fraction of the cost. Wintering plants in the greenhouse allows you to enjoy a wider variety of plants outside your zone. Container gardening is also becoming very popular, especially in urban settings where you must maximize the growing space you have with different containers and multiple levels for display. What To Look For In A Basic Greenhouse The Juliana Basic series features all aluminum framing with 4mm polycarbonate panels. This design is unique because the panels are enclosed by the aluminum framework of the greenhouse, which eliminates the use of silicone and gaskets. The Starter series also features a rolling door for easy accessibility. TIP: Choosing a Site – Sunlight To achieve maximum efficiency, you should place your greenhouse where it will receive at least six hours of direct sunlight during the winter months. A good site would also be sheltered from the high winds, with the door opposite the sternest winds, and have the length of the greenhouse run east and west. This will prove efficient in gathering sunlight during the winter. Remember, the sun is much lower during the winter.
