Affordable Greenhouse farming in Nigeria (1)

in #gardening7 years ago

Greenhouses are becoming a popular way for farmers to make money these days. Unfortunately, construction of commercial greenhouses is expensive due mostly, to the covering insulator. Glazing, i.e. the outer covering, can be constructed with a variety of materials like Glass, plastic and polycarbonate.

Greenhouse under construction in Jos, Plateau State Nigeria.

The reasons behind growing plants in a greenhouse are basically to provide an ideal environment for the plants. Ideal parameters for control include: regulation of temperature, humidity, and water.
Diseases can be prevented and it can also be effective in pest control.

In my next post
• Which Glazing to use?
