Allotments 4 All

Hello :)

I bought the greenhouse from the previous owner of my lottie. It is a bit neglected, and very green with algae stuff.

Is it worth me cleaning it, as the algae may work as shading this year? Or will it be a problem leaving all that green stuff around?

Thanks

I clean mine in early spring to let maximum light in when the days are still short.  If the green is on the outside, then I suppose it would create shade or sorts, but if it were me, being me, I would clean it off and start a-fresh.

Yes - we've just scrubbed ours squeaky clean - need every bit of light you can get.

Ah well, I'd better roll up my sleeves then ;D

We've done ours...

I will do mine just before planting out, they are currently full of plants 'hardening off' so don't want to use detergents around my seedlins

we use a vinegar/water solution, tiny squirt f washing up liquid, melts it right off, quite a bit of vinegar to water  :)
