Heating system: The choice of a heating system and fuel depends largely on what youre growing. If you're using your greenhouse kit to start seedlings and root cuttings in the spring, additional heating may not be necessary. An electric heater is efficient and easy to install. Small gas or oil heaters will also work well for hobby greenhouse kits.
Greenhouse heating cooling controller: One of the supplies you must have is a safety feature for automatic overheat controls. Protect your greenhouse heating cooling controller from direct contact with sunlight and water. To get the desired temperature, place your thermostats at plant height near the center of the greenhouse, so they're not influenced by drafts or frigid outside temperatures.
Misting and fog systems: These greenhouse supplies are so important in hot climates. Misting systems help cool greenhouses with a fine mist that lowers air temperatures when it evaporates. Greenhouse supplies for misting and fogging have a variety of uses. They maintain the right humidity level of 50% to 70%.
Shading: Shade covers are a great way to keep greenhouse kits cool during long hot summers. They block much of the sun's rays from entering the greenhouse which can reduce temperatures over 20%.
Flooring: You may not consider your flooring materials as greenhouse supplies, but youd be surprised how important it is! The floor of your greenhouse should form a firm, nonskid surface for walking, be easy to clean, and be durable enough to withstand constant moisture and dirt. Materials used for greenhouse walkways include stone, gravel, concrete, brick, wood slats, and bark.
Benches: You will need potting benches, folding benches, and greenhouse shelving. These greenhouse supplies make a tremendous difference in the ease of gardening. They also add extra work space to your greenhouse. Benches make shady spots beneath them, an ideal environment for many plants. Greenhouse bench tops are designed to allow water to drain and air to flow through them.
Lighting: Greenhouse supplies for artificial lighting may be needed if your growing area does not provide enough light. Grow lights are great for helping plants maintain healthy growth. Youll also get increased sprouting success and faster growth.
You can also find additional greenhouse supplies that are helpful, such as plant hangars, sprinklers, misting wands, PVC fittings, even greenhouse insulation.
