Best Greenhouse Options in Kenya

Don’t know which type of greenhouse to build? Don’t worry, here are the common factors that you should consider before deciding which greenhouse to build.

  • Climate – in areas with high humidity metallic greenhouse would be recommended instead of wooden greenhouse. Wood roots faster and if not treated does not last long.
  • How much is your budget – generally metallic greenhouse is much expensive than wooden one. So if you can’t meet the cost of metallic greenhouses, wooden greenhouses are still a good option.
  • Which plants are you intending to grow? – different greenhouse designs are designed for different crops. Metallic greenhouses have a high tunnel height and are ideal for low-sunlight-loving plants such as herbs and flowers.

Things you Should Know Before Buying Greenhouse Materials

First, you need to check if your soil is suitable for crop production. Conduct soil pH tests, fertility and soil health check. It is important to identify if the soil is viable so that you don’t grow in soil with infection, such as fusarium wilt.

The next thing is to identify the crop you want to venture into. Do market research to identify highly profitable crops you can grow.

Then check if you have sufficient access to water in your farm. If water is scarce, you may need to consider drilling a borehole or connecting it to billed community water.

After ensuring you have sufficient water, assess the land to ensure it is flat and well drained.
