help on using greenhouse

[lozza_9]

hi all

I have just started a "few" items in my greenhouse BUT I have a stupid question to ask.

When the instructions say - cober with glass or polythene, do I need to cover if in the greenhouse

Cheers

Loz,

What are you growing? We could advise better if you could say what you've sowed.

Hi Jacob

I thought the compost bags would block out the light? or have I got wrong end of the stick

Covering the compost with glass/plastic is just to help keep it moist and warm till the seeds germinate.
