To grow plants even under adverse conditions, it is not enough to erect a polycarbonate greenhouse on the site, it is still necessary to know how to properly make beds in it. This will strongly affect the effectiveness of planting on them. On the arrangement of a landing site, it is better to think about the construction of the greenhouse itself than after. Then you can make them the width that you need, and properly arrange. In this article we will tell you how to make beds in a greenhouse.
Layout in the greenhouse
In order for plants planted in a greenhouse to grow well, it is very important to provide them with the necessary amount of sunlight. Especially it is necessary in the morning. For this, the beds in the greenhouse should be located from the west to the east. In this case, the sun will illuminate them from dawn to dusk.
The optimal width of the garden bed in the greenhouse is 80-90 cm. If done more, it will be problematic to look after distant plants. If the greenhouse is narrow, it is allowed to reduce the size of the beds to 45 cm.
Do not forget that in order for you to be comfortable walking, the width of the passages is not less than 50 cm. This is enough for carrying a wheelbarrow and passing with filled buckets.
Most common in greenhouses is the arrangement of three beds (2 under the walls, 1 - in the middle) and two passes (between the beds), while the lateral should be the same size, and the middle - twice as wide. You can also make only two beds along the walls and one passage, but make them wider. In a greenhouse with a gable roof it is recommended to make 1 broad bed (not more than 150 cm) in the center, and passages on the sides.
The arrangement of beds in the greenhouse
It is also important to determine their appearance. It depends on the climate in your area, and when you want to use them. In a greenhouse made of polycarbonate, you can make the following beds: simple, warm, or using Mitlayer technology.
Simple beds in the greenhouse usually make a height of 20 cm. You can use various materials for the construction of bows: bricks, wooden boards, slate, aluminum and even concrete. They are designed for a hot climate, since such a seat does not dry up so quickly and is weathered. To do them is simple enough, you just need to make a frame, cover the bottom with cardboard and fill with fertile soil, and put rubble, boards, cardboard or stone slabs on the paths.

Warm beds in the greenhouse can be done in two ways: biological (organic) and artificial. The first option is called high beds, since their heights are about 80 cm. They are created in the same way as in the garden. If there is horse manure, then it's best to take it. At the bottom of the prepared box, put 15 cm of sawdust, then 30 cm of manure, then all this must be poured with boiling water and let stand for 2 days, then you can fill up the fertile land and land.

If you want to grow vegetables throughout the year, then warming beds should be equipped with a warm floor, which is laid under the soil. Such a design may consist of electrical cables or plastic pipes.
The beds on Mitlajderu are one of the last innovations that have appeared in truck farming. They can be used both in the open area and in the greenhouse. The width of the landing site should be exactly 45 cm, and the passageway - 90-105 cm. In conditions of enclosed space, it is not always possible to follow the recommendations for length (9 m), but this is not so terrible. It is also important to consider that the direction of the beds should be from north to south and the surface of the soil should be absolutely even.
If you want to get a high yield on such beds, you should follow all the recommendations of the author of the technique for caring for plants: do not loosen, water with warm water only in the morning, etc.
