Greenhouse Location Vegetable Production

greenhouse location Greenhouse Location Vegetable Production

The ideal location for a greenhouse has high winter light intensity, moderate winter temperatures, low humidity, and easy access to markets. The easy availability of existing utilities will help reduce establishment costs and will affect ongoing fuel costs. Avoid trees or buildings that may shade the greenhouse, although windbreaks will help reduce heating costs if properly located. Be sure to leave sufficient room for future expansion and parking.

While superhighways have made transporting greenhouse-grown vegetables easier, locating greenhouse-grown tomatoes near large population areas is still important. High quality tomatoes should be vine ripened; as ripe tomatoes are hard to transport, the closer they are to the retail market the better.

Greenhouses using native soil for vegetable production should be constructed on level sites with deep, well-drained soils. Sandy loams are best. A source of good quality water also is important. High salt concentrations in either the soil or water can significantly reduce yields. Where soils are not suitable, growers may consider bringing in a better soil or using a soil-less production system.
