I am enjoying the practice of starting vegetable seeds to help others have great gardens. In order to do this better I had a greenhouse build and I'm learning how to use it well.
The first thing I noticed in using the greenhouse was the increased humidity, water was dropping on my head when I was inside. The humidity is great for the plants but it is also bad as the extra water can cause the roots to rot. So that means that I leave the window and screen door slightly open to help move air and limit the humidity.
The other greenhouse helps to increase warmth for the plants to grow and it is said that it is 10 degrees hotter in the greenhouse than outside. Well there is a difference in temperature for sure, I have not used a thermometer to check the difference but going in and out you can tell even with the window and screen door being opened slightly.
The greenhouse is also supposed to help control the weather for the plants. I'm yet to learn how to keep the temperature in the greenhouse within a certain range. I have added a fan and use the window but as with other parts of gardening it is a learning process and there is no correct to say to do it, just lots of trial and error.
