How To Reduce Disease in the Greenhouse

How To Reduce disease in the Greenhouse

• Keep Floor very clear and tidy.
• Remove any dead or decaying material.
• For certain disease it is better to burn the infected material or put in household rubbish. Some slow compost heaps may be insufficient to ensure disease is killed.
• Make Sure there is a good airfloor. Install vents at base of greenhouse as well as using windows at top. Make sure there is an airflow from door to other end of the greenhouse.
• Be careful of using spent compost. Using fresh compost makes better chance of avoiding disease.
• Be careful of using stagnant water from a water butt. If in doubt use fresh water.
• Rotate plants. Don’t grow tomatoe plants in the same soil year after year, it is asking for disease.
• Use Grow bags as a way to ensure fresh soil and infection.
• Clean all pots and glass at the end of the year with a Jeyes Fluid.
