I'm sure there are other nutrients it brings along also.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845252729189467819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-52186088791133359112013-01-09T07:20:24.100-05:002013-01-09T07:20:24.100-05:00Thanks.

Those would be springlike temps for sure. <br /><br />Last year greenhouse #1 (in it's second year) was ridiculously dry, and it didn't seem to matter how much I watered it, it kept drying right back out. <br /><br />Another blogger who greenhouse gardens mentioned that watering never gives back to the soil the way rain and snow do, so she uncovers her greenhouse through the winter.<br /><br />I left the sides open- the way it's built removing the roof would ruin the plastic- in hopes that the snow and rain would blow in. That's only worked on the edges. So I shovelled snow into the centre, covering the ground. I don't know if it will make a difference, but I figure it's worth a shot.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-87047047762170057752013-01-08T23:44:11.275-05:002013-01-08T23:44:11.275-05:00That picture is just beautiful.

My spring bulbs have been putting out greenery since Christmas. It looks like another warm winter.<br /><br />Why are you shoveling snow into the greenhouse?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
