author considers it appropriate to consider the whole set of recommended measures, and the reader will decide for himself what is important for him, and what can be neglected.

Assessment of greenhouse

And the announcement is not in vain stated "... the beginning of a thaw."As soon as a possibility (conditions permitting), to be driven to the site.Owners of homes that are built on the territory of the greenhouse, in this regard, much easier.But it is necessary to make an inspection in advance.Not the fact that it is, "wintered", does not require at least some renovation.So you need to figure out that you have to do before embarking on planting and what materials, tools and the like may be necessary.

Such foresight had the excess does not happen.According to well-known law necessarily something does not turn out right away to find (buy), so by the time the stock will always be welcome.Probably do not need to explain that growers who use the greenhouse in the winter as a storage room, it is necessary beforehand to unload.

If a greenhouse is a minimal automation, you need to check everything.And not only to make sure that the water flowing from the tap, but also to see whether the pressure that should be.And suddenly on the road a small defect in the form of a crack in the chimney?The same with voltage.As the light bulb?Author once confronted with the fact that when a new neighbor is connected to the line of powerful "svarochnik", and phase imbalance, not only led to the fact that the lights began to flash, and drip irrigation greenhouse stopped working.The problem was resolved "amicably", but it is better to clarify the nuances of these ahead of time, prior to planting.

Eliminating defects found

This paragraph logically follows from the previous one.Given what surprises is not the first year we presents the weather, one recommendation - better not to delay the repair of greenhouses.When the timing of planting is not exactly up to that, and get "as usual", that is in any way - repair "gradually" be postponed until next year.

Wet cleaning

That's putting it mildly.It is necessary to wash all as thoroughly as possible, especially in the field of window openings.If the greenhouse is made of polycarbonate, the problem is solved quickly with a hose.In the case of frame structures with windows, you need to clean the glass, not only themselves, but also their places of contiguity to the frame.It was there and accumulate various microorganisms, which clearly should not be this particular structure.

But exactly which tools to use, decided on the spot, depending on the materials greenhouses and containers.But washing with water alone - a waste of time.In an extreme case, for lack of a better - with soap and water, but high alkalinity.Therefore, the economic need soap, not the toilet.

Disinfection

Net laundered greenhouse must be further processed.The choice of means, not least depends on local conditions, the most common (and well-known gardener) pests, personal experience, recommendations of experts.The author's case - to offer a small overview of the products and take advantage of what is on the discretion of the owner.

fertilization

If soil replacement is not made, then the top layer still need to be removed.It is on the order of 50 mm and penetrating the entire depth "infection" - maggots, bacteria and the like.Instead of crop land and is filled with humus.But first it must be loosened, because during the winter the soil accurately follow.
