Greenhouse for winter: to close or leave open — advice for gardeners.

According to ТСН: This decision depends on the climatic conditions of your region and the design of the greenhouse. Let's consider the advantages and disadvantages of both options.

Closing the greenhouse for winter

Advantages:

1. The frame and covering remain intact – the absence of open gaps reduces the influence of winds and precipitation.

2. The likelihood of pest accumulation decreases due to the preventive treatment of the soil and disinfection of the walls.

Disadvantages:

1. The internal space may accumulate moisture, promoting the development of mold and mildew.

2. There is a risk of damage to the polycarbonate sheets under the weight of snow.

Leaving the greenhouse open

Advantages:

1. Good ventilation prevents plant diseases.

2. Surfaces ventilate well, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.

3. Sun rays penetrate freely, warming the soil and eliminating pests.

Disadvantages:

1. The structures are more prone to damage from strong winds.

2. An open greenhouse may accumulate debris and fallen leaves, complicating spring bed preparation.

Advice from experienced gardeners:

• Check the strength of the frame before winter.

• If the structure is reliable, close the doors and windows to protect the greenhouse from precipitation and mechanical damage.

• Regularly ventilate the closed greenhouse to eliminate excess moisture.

• Additionally, support the frame if your region has significant snow cover.

Proper preparation of the greenhouse for winter is the key to a rich and healthy harvest in the next season. Remember that whatever option you choose, it is important to consider the peculiarities of your region and the condition of the structure.
