In November, there is a minimum of work left on the site, but you should not neglect it under any circumstances.
In particular, it is important to properly prepare the greenhouse for the onset of cold weather.
There is a simple three-point checklist to follow to avoid problems next year.
How to prepare a greenhouse for cold weather
The first thing to do is to remove the top layer of soil. The ideal option is to completely replace the soil every year, but few people have this opportunity.
Therefore, before the onset of cold weather, it is recommended to remove about 5 centimeters from all beds.
The second step is wet cleaning. Before the cold weather, the greenhouse needs a thorough cleaning, so it is important to wash all internal surfaces, including glass and supports.
It is recommended to lay compost on the beds before winter and water them with a urea solution.
The third step is disinfection. As a disinfectant, you can use a sulfur candle, which is recommended to be set on fire and left for a day.
After fumigation, it is necessary to thoroughly ventilate the room for 24 hours.
