moonharvester Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I was thinking of keeping few oscillating fans inside greenhouse and I was thinking of installing exhaust fan there too, would that be overkill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exactly, I just havent seen anything like that in real life and suffered greatly because of borg and lack of that air exchange, just natural wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machiavellian Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hi there, I see you're trying to optimize your greenhouse. This is what do. Odour:_ Use low odour plants and totally avoid (even discard) the stinky ones. If they smell bad in July by September they will be brutal. I plant middle of May. Use Lavender plants at the entrance and inside. To prove this buy a few and drive them home from the garden centre - your car will smell really perfumed when you get home Leave the green house door open/ajar - choose the side that you vent carefully - i.e. don't vent to your neighbours. Nutradol is cheap and a good odour neutraliser. I have a small solar panel - size of 2 keyboards and this powers two PC fans. Airs and helps with mould. Yes paint the glass on the inside, I do this when the plants start getting there big leaves in June as I want lots of light when starting things off. Camouflage your plants - mix them in with Lavender, cherry tomatoes even flowers, mint, rosemary - you get the idea. If things are getting desperate with odour late flowering then try aftershave on a garden pot saucer! Best of luck ;-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuJa Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I'm thinking about buying 2 x Cyclone Oscillating clip-on Fans from eBay for the polytunnel this year (4m x 2m x 2m) I'll probably only utilize them when the temps are above 30°c and the later end of flower. Has anybody got any experience with using fans outside and would you recommend a particular one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
