    Why Ventilate your Greenhouse?

    Greenhouse Cooling and Humidity Control

    Controlling greenhouse humidity with some ventilation system is a must in just about any climate.  Even in cooler climates, greenhouse temperatures can reach extreme levels.  Your plants are more likely to die in a greenhouse from excessive heat than cool temperatures.

    Pests and Disease Prevention

    Proper greenhouse air circulation is also critical for healthy plants. By rolling up your side curtains you allow stale air to get pushed out of your greenhouse leading to healthier plants with fewer disease and pest problems.  Many common greenhouse pests and diseases thrive on stale and humid air.  Rolling up your sidewalls will allow air to circulate, naturally reducing incidences of these common problems.

    Better Pollination

    Growing in a greenhouse without natural air circulation can cause poor pollination of your plants.  A breeze naturally sends pollen around your greenhouse so you can avoid the hassle of hand-pollinating every plant.  If you are noticing poor pollination or poor fruit setting, this is a sign that you may need to be increasing the airflow into your greenhouse.

     

    Keeping Your Greenhouse Ventilated

    During the hot summer months its critical to keep your greenhouse well ventilated.  In our area at the southern coast of North Carolina we get average highs in the lower 90s with high humidity. Without proper greenhouse ventilation temperatures inside can easily exceed 115°.  To keep your plants cool during periods of high heat we simply just roll up our sidewalls and keep both end wall doors open.  This allows air to naturally keep our greenhouse cool and our plants safe from excess heat.
