    Unheated greenhouses can extend the season for growing herbs and vegetables. Some herbs and hardy vegetables like spinach and carrots can be grown late into the fall and early in spring in an unheated greenhouse.

    You can also keep herbs alive in a greenhouse that would not survive the winter outdoors. In the depth of winter your plants in the greenhouse will probably stop growing, though. This winter, try some experiments and test the temperature inside your greenhouse at different times of day.

    It is difficult to make a recommendation on this description.
    I would suggest you test the alternative watering system well before trusting the system while you are away.

    Well, there are a few important things to know first. You will want to be able to maintain the temperatures inside, depending on your plant choices. This can mean anything from opening it when it is too warm and heating it is too cold. This can be done manually, or with a controller. Otherwise, there is not much to do, other than monitor the temperature and humidity in there.

    bitumen is a hydrocarbon, an organic compound and since it can create the lock in of warm temperatures it’s used a lot. if yours is roofing felt for a home it should be completely safe for your greenhouse but it might not warm up as much.

    But I have read on several articles that it is better to buy polytunnels rather than greenhouses because the polytunnels easily movable and also cheap in prices that's why I am looking for a polytunnel here https://www.inthemarket.ie/product-category/polytunnels/polytunnels-products/

    We do not sell or suggest specific manufacturers.

    We can simply provide information to help gardeners.

    The type of greenhouse you choose should meet your size requirements and growing needs.
    If possible go look at several greenhouse or growing systems.
    Here are some articles for you.
