Greenhouses have come a long way since the
Ancient Romans. In the 13th century, Ancient Romans began to use greenhouses in
order to allow sunlight to travel indoors for study and medical plants.
Commonly only used for wealthy citizens, greenhouses are now used for anyone
with the desire to start their own business or learn new methods of growing plants.
Greenhouses are structured to protect plants from heat, cold, and extend a
plants growing season. The idea behind the greenhouse is to keep the heat in to
allow the flow of thermal energy out. As the sunlight from the greenhouse
passes through its translucent walls it radiates warmth into the air. A
greenhouse is essential in helping to regulate the heat in the air because too
much heat will cause many problems.
Extends Your Grow Season- Every plant or
vegetable has a season in which they flourish. Investing in a greenhouse gives
you the opportunity to provide and produce a variety of plants that may be out
of seasons such as exotic flowers or tropical fruit. This gives you the
advantage to provide wide availability of products in times of low supply. Not
having to worry about external elements gives you a head start on providing the
best growing environment for your plants.
Minimize Outdoor Threats- There is nothing worse
than walking outside to adore your newly sprouted plants and realize there is a
squirrel turning it into a salad. A major advantage of a greenhouse means that
you no longer have to battle animals, insects or the introduction of diseases.
Protect Plants from Bad Weather- Even in the
best-tailored garden, bad weather is the enemy of healthy growing plants. Bad
weather such as thunderstorms, blizzards, and high winds can cause major damage
to your plants. Having a greenhouse offers your greenery extra protection
against outdoor elements.
Appeal- A greenhouse is also known as a “Glasshouse.” We
must admit that having a greenhouse can sometimes add an aesthetic to your
home. It offers you a great place where you can reduce your stress levels, relax,
and even teach your family how to grow plants. You will be able to do
what you love planting indoors and enjoy the living force of nature around you.
Having a greenhouse can be a great investment
when done correctly. If your greenhouse is properly maintained, you can
decrease your grocery bill by growing your own food and increase your income by
saving money! You will be able to reap the benefits of your protected produce
all year long indoors. Make
