In fall, you should take proper care of your garden and your greenhouse.
Colder months can affect your plants a lot, so you need to check your greenhouse thoroughly and make sure that it will protect your crops in winter.
Here are a few tips on what you should do.
Check the structure of the greenhouse for any damage or wear and tear.
Inspect the seals and weatherstripping to prevent drafts and heat loss during colder months.
As the weather gets cooler, you'll need to make adjustments to the temperature and ventilation settings in the greenhouse.
Install a thermostat or use a temperature-controlled fan or heater to maintain the ideal temperature range for your plants.
With shorter daylight hours in the fall, consider installing supplemental lighting to ensure your plants receive enough light for proper growth.
Maintain an appropriate humidity level by using humidifiers, dehumidifiers, or misting systems, depending on the requirements of your plants.
Keep a vigilant eye for pests and diseases that may become more prevalent in the fall.
Use appropriate organic or chemical treatments to address any issues promptly and prevent the spread of pests or diseases.
Fall is an excellent time to plan for crop rotation and succession planting.
Consider planting cool-season crops suitable for fall and winter harvesting, such as leafy greens, root vegetables, and herbs.
