Help with greenhouse growing ( new to this veg growing )

25-05-2016, 12:20 PM

I would really like some help as I'm new to growing veg and I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for online.
Last year I grew tomatoes / cucumbers in my greenhouse. The cucumbers grew really well not so many tomatoes but enough for the two of us.
The soil I have in the greenhouse is just full of little roots. I've tried getting them out which I must say is rather hard work but I'm willing to do this if they need removing.
My questions are....
Do I have to get rid of them all?
Can I just top up the soil and try and dig it in, not easy as they are spread throughout the soil?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

Hello Joo6, and welcome the the Vine!
Where abouts in the country are you situated ? - as it can make a difference with growing advice (not just being nosey ...!!! Well, just a bit!).
Also everyone likes to see photos as this can help 'diagnose'. It's also great to look at your 'before' and 'after' pics!

I don't have soil borders in my GH, so this isn't a problem for me - I use grow bags/pots/tubs etc

It sounds as if your soil will need replacing - with fresh soil/compost, I think this should be done periodically anyway for the health of the soil, as of course, nutrients are going to get depleted, and any unwanted pests/diseases can be eradicated that way, too.

Enjoy the forum and ask away, you'll always get an answer!
