WEEDS IN MY
GREENHOUSE?
Say
it ain’t
so !
by Shannon McKee
When it comes to greenhouse
growing, weeds are still something
horticulturists must deal with and
eradicate. Shannon McKee shows
indoor growers how to stamp out
weeds and keep them from returning.
greenhouse is the perfect environment for
growing all types of lovely plants. Some of us use
Y our our
greenhouses to extend our growing season so we
can grow through the spring and fall, and in some
setups, even get fresh crops in the winter. Others use
their greenhouse to grow plants that are more exotic
than what they can grow throughout the year. No
matter how you use your greenhouse, it’s not just the
perfect growing environment for the plants you want
— it’s also a perfect growing environment for weeds.
Some may have this misconception that growing in
an enclosed environment means no pesky things like
insects or weeds. The truth is you can have problems
like weeds. Let’s go over how you can abolish them
from your greenhouse once they’ve taken hold, and
what steps you need to take to prevent them from
getting a foothold again in the future.
