Greenhouse question

    So I my greenhouse shows up this week. Wanted to ask what are somethings I need to look out for, stuff I may want to think about getting other then the basics. I’ve never ran in a greenhouse, been indoor as of late and have years outside experience. Everything comes with a learning curve I’m just hoping to maybe knock that down a little.

    Lady bugs are great. The pray mantis are cool. 100’s come out of one nest, and it’s a battle royal if no food around.

    Airflow. Make sure the air circulation inside the greenhouse is to the max.

    Make sure you secure it to the ground. Our last small greenhouse got lifted by the wind and scattered over a few acres.

    Watch for humidity problems. High humidity will put water on your walls. Also high like 80% humidity will sometimes give your plants septoria. Airflow is key. Also buy some companion herbs, like basil as natural pesticide. Bugs will be a issue. And soon

      thanks for the info, i was looking into some ways of dealing with the humidity, Im trying not to cheat and keep it a greenhouse, but i just keep coming back to just throwing a small dehumidifier in there just to take the worry out of it. and keep the grow more consistent. and im defiantly putting pest control in place before i even start my run, weather it be herbs ibm solutions what ever. i leave kinda out in the country so there is no shortage of pest!
