In what way is the device of the winter garden expressed?
The foundation of any structure is the foundation, except for the installation of a winter garden, except when it is built on the roof or in the attic, and also on the second floor. The most common option is an extension, and therefore we will consider this type of green territory in the house. The foundation is made as deep as for the load-bearing walls of the cottage, at the same time it is necessary to immediately carry out a network of sewage pipes to which the tanks with soil will be connected. If to make a foundation of a small immersion, then it is necessary to provide insulation for frost protection .
Planting plants in your home garden can be both stationary and dynamic. In the first case, the above-mentioned containers are used, immersed in the foundation or raised above it, the bottom of which must have a slope and a hole for connection through a filter with drain pipes. A drainage layer of fine gravel gravel or steamed claydite is poured into the container, and substrates can be used for hydroponics. The fiberglass is laid on top, on which a half-meter layer of soil is poured. Dynamic garden is obtained by using boxes with soil, mounted on wheels and decorated for carts.
Lighting of the winter garden, to help the sun
So that the sun's rays freely penetrate into all corners of your home greenhouse, it is advisable to make the maximum possible glazing, given of course, how much the lighting of the winter garden is needed. After all, plants can be not only light-loving, but also shade-tolerant, that is, those that can grow in the shade, and also shade-loving, that is, preferring exclusively darkened rooms. If you plan to plant all these plant species in a gallery attached to the house, orient it along the two walls of the building, the eastern( or western) and northern .Along the first one can plant light-loving greens, at the corner there will be a buffer zone, and to the north plant plants preferring a shadow.
In addition to the glass, which should be two-layer and preferably armored( of course, more affordable triplex), you will need artificial lighting. Today, various lamps for the winter garden are used: luminescent and more compact electroluminescent( 5 times more profitable than incandescent lamps), and also imitating sunlight gas-discharge. With their help, you can create both general illumination of planted zones, and a point. Taking into account the fact that you need to differentiate the winter garden into green territory and a place for rest, zoning can be done with lighting equipment.
Winter garden heating, comfortable for plants and for you
It is very important to maintain the temperature in which the plants will be located, especially if the sun's rays freely adhere to the room. For this purpose, not only the solid heating of the winter garden is connected, but also the equal ventilation. If it is not done, even in winter, the heat generated from the internal surfaces of the room, as well as the evaporation of the plants, will create a peculiar greenhouse effect. In the summer, the situation will be aggravated by direct sunlight, however, they can be protected from them by applying external shading. In any case, quality ventilation is necessary, to supply the winter garden with fresh air, saturated oxygen.
Ventilation can not be replaced in any way by an air conditioner that can only heat or cool the air, maintaining the optimum temperature, but does not supply the room with oxygen.
Heating in a glazed room can be steam, air or water, and each type has advantages and disadvantages. So, since in country houses it is steam heating is the most common, it is easier to bring it to your home greenhouse. Its drawback is the need to constantly monitor the boiler, which can create a significant excess of the maximum permissible temperature in the garden. Air heating is the supply of air from the house with the help of a fan in the window or a special hole, the disadvantage is that it will always be colder in the garden than in living rooms. It is best to use water heating, driving water through pipes with a pump.
