Hi,
It is not that Tomatoes and Cucumbers do not like growing together. It is
that they like different conditions, so what is good for one is not good for
the other. Hope this helps you.

Hi dave,

I had a small greenhouse similar to you and wanted to grow tomatoes and
cucumbers also.
My cucumbers came out real good but I didnt have much success with the
tomatoes. I have since heard that tomatoess and cucumbers dont like
growing next to each other. Im not an expert so this is just something
to bear in mind - and hopefully some more experienced people can
clarify this point??????????

good luck candide

Hi -

This is my first posting here so please bear with me -

This is my first full year of greenhouse ownership, it's only a small
6' 6" square plastic Rion greenhouse, but I'm hoping to get some
tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet and chilli peppers going in growbags
later this year.

I had limited success last year, but not as good as I hoped, due I
think to a late start and the wet summer we had.

Due to my odd work hours, I'm not going to be available to water the
greenhouse every single day, so I have a water timer and drip feeds
into the growbags. Is this a good idea - or is there a better way ?.

Is it better to cover the floor with concrete flags, and sit the
growbags on top of those, or will it be a better idea to cut a few
slits in the base of the growbags and rest them directly on the soil,
so some of the root systems will be able to grow down underneath the
growbags ?

Last year I had a lot of small black flies, which I believe are
encouraged by having damp earth to lay their eggs in, so I'm thinking
that if I concrete flag the floor first, this will help eliminate the
black flies problem ?

Thanks - Dave.
