If weeds grow in your greenhouse, get rid of them. But don t just worry about what is inside the greenhouse. If weeds and debris builds up around your greenhouse, insects will have a hiding place and can easily pop indoors. Choices you made in flooring and benches will also help or hinder in sanitation. Plastic flooring may be cheap, but molds and mildews will build up and it can be treacherous to walk on.
Wooden benches can be harder to keep clean than aluminum or plastic.
Greenhouses are becoming popular additions to the home landscape. Before you jump in and build one, be sure you can maintain it and have time to deal with the plants inside. If you need more information call your local county extension office.
