Topic: Greenhouse Spring Cleaning

[themauler]

I am in the process of cleaning and disinfecting my greenhouse and want any advice.

Today I have used a pressure wash on both the outside and inside & tomorrow I am planning to disinfect all the inside.

I built this greenhouse about 18 months ago on flags. It is fastened down but there are gaps between the greenhouse and the flags in places.

Should I seal the gaps with silicone or something similar, or do I need to leave the gap and allow any crawlies to get in. It is not fully flagged inside, as I left two 12" gaps between the flags going the length of the greenhouse which are filled with pebbles/gravel.

Any advice appreciated

I used Jeyes fluid to scrub mine out the other week, it still smells nice! I used a plastic broom to apply a moss removing dilution inside and out and all the staging, left it for an hour then pressure washed it off.

I used citrox. Blasted with pressure wash throughout including glass panels and concrete flags. Then I sprayed all panels with solution of diluted citrox.
Also, any equipment from last year I have cleaned and sprayed with same solution including pots and staging etc.
