Weekly Gardening Hints from Our Dome to Yours

Winterizing your Growing Dome

Fall has arrived, and winter is on the rise!

You should have started your winter crops in flats or pots separate from the growing beds to get them established before the cold weather really hits. It is suggested in late October to start inter-planting the cool weather crops amongst your summer plants. By now, the tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc should have all of their foliage high up on the plant, leaving room at soil level for the new seedlings.

Usually the warm weather crops will continue fruiting until about the end of October, but as the sun loses power and the days become shorther, we find that they do not ripen as well and the fruits become hard and not so tasty. Often you will find that during a heavy freeze the frost sensitive plants in the outer will suffer from freezing, whereas the plants in the center beds will be still happily producing. This is the time to remove your Shade Cloth, if you have'nt already, so we can attract as much heat as possible into the water tank and the under soil heating system ready for the ensuing winter.

Also, many dome owners encourage the vents to open later to try and keep as much heat in the dome as possible. This is accomplished by unscrewing (counter clockwise) the black Univent piston and/or the silver Bayliss adjusting nut. This causes them to open later and at a higher temperature, thus keeping the heat inside the dome. Remember to keep the vents clear of snow to allow them to open. If you are not able to stop snow piling up against them, then it is best to disconnect them from opening altogether by squeezing the arms of the Univent opener, or removing the Bayliss adjusting nut entirely.
