Marketing
Greenhouse operators provide restaurants, health food shops, produce distributors, garden facilities and market clients, locally potted or grown, fresh-cut, dried cultivated herbs.
Greenhouse Temperature
Its important to keep a temperature in the greenhouse. Greenhouse temperature must be approximately 75 degrees Fahrenheit with a soil temperature of approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on where in the country the greenhouse is situated, supplemental heating may be required in ventilation or winter and cooling in summer. More plants die from the rainwater from heat than they do from chilly temperatures. By Adding a shade fabric to the greenhouse 8, sun is filtered and lowers temperatures. Air flow is crucial to quality manufacturing. The air to move around.
Lighting
Most herbs need eight to 12 hours of bright sunlight daily. Sunlight is supplemented with synthetic methods. LED grow lights are energy.
Organic Seed
To grow organic herbs, it is necessary to purchase certified organic seed or spread cuttings from a certified organic”mother” plant.
Natural Methods
Organic greenhouse herb production differs from conventional methods in fertilizer methods and pest management. Organic farmers use products that are natural. Synthetic ingredients and toxic chemicals found in commercial pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers have been prevented.
Fertilizers
Worms for their castings, also known as vermiculture, is an ideal way to generate organic fertilizer that’s rich in the herbs need to flourish in a subtropical environment. Georgia wigglers will be the easiest to raise. They multiply and grow rapidly when fed a diet of kitchen scraps or garden waste. Worms could be increased in bathtubs or specially designed worm bins out there. Vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, egg shells and fruit peels are favorite foods of garden worms. Mix with 3 parts for transplanting potting soil or split one cup of castings in 1 gallon of water. Every two weeks with a watering can, massaging the solution around these plants’ origins. Herbivore manure — sheep, cow, goat, horse, lama — is also an organic fertilizer; abundant in nutrients and minerals necessary for vigorous plant growth. Mix 1 part pulverized or manure , aged garden mulch, two parts potting soil, 1 part horticultural sand and 1 part peat moss to create a potting mixture that works for many herb transplants.
Watering
Water in a fashion that keeps the leaves of these plants dry as possible to discourage the development of mould and mildew. Most herbs do best in dry and sunny conditions. For plants, allow soil to dry between waterings.
