Criteria for Locating a GreenhouseRange

Market - Is there going to be anyone who wants to buy your plants at thatlocation?

Accessibility - Are you near a major highway and are you highly visibleto the general public? This is a catch-22 situation because you are alsonearer to pollution (such as ozone and ethylene) and vandalism.

Climatic conditions - It is important to consider the amount of sunlight,

temperature (highs and lows), amount of snowfall and areas of highwinds. Topography and drainage Water and other utilities - It is important to have a source of good

quality water and other utilities such as electricity, fuel and wastedisposal.

Zoning regulations Labor supply - Both skilled and unskilled labor should be available. Expansion - It is important to have adequate room for future expansion.

Greenhouse Coverings

The most important function of a greenhouse covering is to allow the maximum amount of light into the greenhousefor the growth and development of plants.

Glass The main advantage of glass is that it provides the best light transmission of any greenhouse covering. However there

are some disadvantages: Cost of glass is very high Cost of heating the greenhouse is higher Problems with vandalism

Polyethylene Advantages are:

The initial cost is cheaper Fuel costs are lower

Disadvantages are: Polyethylene has a short life span; UV light causes breakdown of polyethylene. When UV inhibitors are applied to

polyethylene the average life is three years. Condensation on the inside surface of the greenhouse can lead to disease occurrence and a reduction in the amount of

sunlight entering the greenhouse. Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic The biggest advantage of fiberglass-reinforced plastic is that it allows the same amount of sunlight through as glass.

However, in recent years fiberglass-reinforced plastic has decreased in popularity because of the followingdisadvantages:

Very susceptible to UV light, dust and pollution degradation. Flammable and thus insurance rates may be higher.

Acrylic and polycarbonate Acrylic and polycarbonate types of greenhouse coverings have almost completely replaced the use of fiberglass-

reinforced plastic because of the following advantages: Lightweight and easy to install Excellent heat insulating ability Good light transmission

A disadvantage is that it is flammable.
