Algae on greenhouse walls Oops!
Make that 1 HALF cup of bleach.
"Wendy" wrote in message news:N923b.69391$kP.24441@fed1read03... Yes Ray, I'm with you here & remember Wilford's discussions on this before. He uses 1% bleach, so I figured this out to:- 1 cup bleach to 3 gals water? Does this sound right? I am going to allocate a day in the month to do this. I have just been washing the floors with bleach in the past. Cheers Wendy "Ray" wrote in message ... Unfortunately, algae is a good attractant for snails, slugs, and all sorts of bugs - nothing like a nice fresh salad! If one thinks that that's good, as it will deflect the advances toward your plants, forget it - it brings them right into the vicinity. And as Wendy said, if it's on the GH covering, it will be elsewhere eventually. I emptied my greenhouse this summer in order to power-wash the thing - covering, inside and out, structure, benches, RO unit, water tank - you name it. What a LOT of work! You can betchurass I'll do a better job with the preventive sprayings from now on! -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! . . . . . . . . . . .

"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? |
