Hi, having just purchased an automatic vent openner for my greenhouse,
what is a suitable temperature to set it open at, I'm growing tomatoes
and melons (hopefully). And in a similar vein, is shading for the
greenhouse a necessity.
Thermostatic vents are OK, but the amount of venting they can provide
seldom provides enough airflow to bring the temperature down in
mid-summer. I'd set it for full open at 30C but don't expect good
regulation.
They are great for keeping it from getting too warm in mid winter though.
I have hardly ever shaded mine. I did in the early days. Most things I
grow including tomatoes will tolerate full UK sun if they are used to it.
