Alexis Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 This project has taken a lot longer than hoped but at long last the new greenhouse is up and running. Here is how the project went! The old Eden 10 x 8 greenhouse that came with the house. The jungle inside. The garden was full of big teasels and brambles. Greenhouse gone and jungle clearance to come. Leylandii to fell next. Cleared site. Footings for the paving slab perimeter base. Base down. Finally up and running. This is Mike's 20' x 8.6' minor/alata/rubra Robinsons greenhouse. Next step is to assemble the staging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Why can I only see the top bit of the pictures? All the rest is just a series of coloured or black and white horizontal zig zags! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxman Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Very nice. Looks like there's just room for another one beside it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi Alexis Great set of photos. Looks like it was a lot of hard work, though! Bet you can't wait to get some staging in and start filling it with plants. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Looking really good Alexis. I love those high-eave greenhouses. Wish I had thought about that at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Definitely a plus point when you're 6' 2"! It'll be novel not to have Brook's Hybrid etc getting squashed against the glass. I also need to repot everything as they've been basically growing wild outside for 12 months. If only it was light in the evenings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Rubras and a few more hybrids. 95% of them need repotting and dividing over the winter after which the order will be a bit less haphazard next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Well, that was filled very quickly . Some really nice looking plants there. If 95% of them need repotting and dividing, you'll need a sizeable extension already! Kind regards, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
