Adding Equipment To Your Greenhouse

Two important pieces of equipment you must have inside your greenhouse are benches and shelves. You can have the benches constructed from various types of material.

Must Be Nice To Make Cheese by Ourselves
The article describes how cheese are made and how there are still people who make cheese for personal consumption.

For example, you can have benches which are made from redwood, cypress, asbestos with slatted or solid surfaces. While some growers put the plants they are growing right on top of the benches, it's not the best way.

It's better if you can inset some trays into the benches, to help prevent the moisture from ruining the bench. For the benches in my greenhouse, I prefer to use steel trays, which are galvanized steel, to put the plants on. For added protection, I put 2 inches of pea rock inside the trays, and then I put the potted plants on top of the pea rock in the steel trays.

Some people create a wooden tray into the benches. Some growers construct a wooden tray for the bench and put soil and build it into the bench. They then put potting soil in the wooden tray and grow the plants directly in the bench. You could also put sand in the tray and push pots down into the sand. If you keep the sand damp, it will give your pot some additional humidity and will also keep the pot cooler.

An asbestos bench 3 feet wide, up to 49 feet long, with 6½-inch sides, including pipe and fittings, retails for about $4.00 per linear foot (or at least it did when I bought one a while ago). Shelves can be of glass or wood. You can purchase ready-made ones, or start out by making a few of your own and adding more as your operation expands.
