Algae on greenhouse walls
Hi Wilford, I know we have discussed this before & I saved your info
somewhere? Just want to verify, that I figured out 1% bleach to:- 1 half cup bleach to 3 gals water? Cheers Wendy "WNeptune" wrote in message ... I just got finished scrubbing and bleaching the floors in my GH too. Luckily I didn't get much of any algae on the walls that couldn't be taken care of with a sponge and the same soapy/bleach solution I used on the floor. I think most folks with larger GHs use a power washer on their poly carb. (The term may actually be pressure sprayer). I used a wire brush and elbow grease - but then I was cleaning a brick floor, not plastic walls! LOL! Smells much better in there now. K Barrett "Gideon Singer" wrote in message news I have a "small" 8ft square polycarb panel greenhouse that every year needs to be cleaned of algae. I was wondering, as I get ready for another round of scrubbing and rinsing, what other people do to keep their greenhouse walls clean and free of algae? This has been discussed numerous times. I have a Lexan liner in a glass house. If I use a wire brush, or even a stiff brush on this , it will scar the surface. I keep the algae under control by spraying down the walls, benches, and walks every week with one % bleach. Although I make no effort to spray the plants, they receive some, and I have not noticed any problems with this in over ten years. Washing down the walls with a power washer is not a good idea with multi layered coverings, as the water tends to get between the layers and then the inner surface is dirty, and there is no way to get to it.
