I have several 'Dianthus Pink' plant cuttings in my plastic upright cloche.
Can I insulate the cloche using the same method as for the green house, or will it still not be enough to protect my plant cuttings through the winter.
I normally bring them inside the house over winter, but I now have quite a few that would take up allot of space indoors.
Just a tip if you haven't got time to bubble wrap the entire greenhouse, get one of those mini plastic greenhouses, stick it inside the glass greenhouse, and use that for small plants.
I was given a good tip when insulating greenhouses without the groove for the plastic clip. I have an old Alitex greenhouse which has an ordinary frame the bars of which are T shaped and so there is no groove. I was told to put the insulation up and clip it to the extruding piece of the frame with butterfly clips. Places like Lidl sell large boxes of them very cheap and it works well and is cheap.
I attached a length of battening (resting on the window bars at each end of the greenhouse) against either long side of the greenhouse and tie in. Push wrap down behind your bench to floor, up over the bar and over top of bench and you create an individual insulated area within your greenhouse, or adapt to suit. Easy and cheap to construct, lift up the front on a warm day. I keep the battons in place all year as I use them to attach strings to grow tomatoes.
The Alliclip Extensions do not twist through the expected 90 degrees and fall out quite easily when it comes to attaching the bubble and retaining Alliclip.
I've trimmed nearly 300 of these to allow them to twist correctly (in my opinion)
Be interesting to know of any one else has had the same problem. The greenhouse is a powder coated Robinson.
