Frequently Asked Questions

-
Are potting sheds a good idea?
Potting sheds are ideal places for gardening enthusiasts to organise tools and materials while participating in planting activities separate from the main residence. These facilities create a dedicated space for potting, repotting and planting seeds, which helps to maintain cleanliness and order in the primary living areas. They also provide a sheltered space for delicate plants and seedlings, protecting them from the rigours of the weather. Their practicality and ease of use make sheds a valuable addition to any garden or outdoor space, enriching the overall gardening experience for enthusiasts.
-
Can I Use Just A Wood Preservative On My Shed?
To protect it permanently, there may need to be more than just a wood preservative on your shed. Although wood preservatives help to prevent rot and insect infestation, they do not always protect from the elements. Applying a top coat, e.g., paint or sealant, is often advisable to prevent moisture and UV rays from attacking the wood. Combining wood preservatives and protective coating can protect your shed better and ensure that it looks good and lasts longer.
-
Choosing a wooden shed offers several advantages that make it ideal for gardening. Wood is naturally stable and provides good insulation, protecting your plants from extreme temperatures. Unlike metal or plastic, a wooden shed blends well with the garden environment, creating a warm and inviting space. It’s also easy to customise, make changes or add new elements. Wood is also more environmentally friendly as it is a renewable resource when sourced responsibly. Overall, a
wooden potting shed improves both the functionality and aesthetics of your gardening.
-
What do you put in a potting shed?
In a potting shed, you typically store gardening tools such as shovels, rakes, and trowels. Pots, trays, and soil are also commonly kept in this space. A work surface for potting and repotting plants and ample storage for fertilisers and other gardening supplies are essential. Some may also choose to store seeds, bulbs, and other planting materials in a potting shed. Proper ventilation and lighting are necessary to ensure a conducive environment for gardening activities.
-
What Is The Difference Between A Potting Shed and A Greenhouse?
The main difference between a greenhouse and a potting shed is the use of glass. A greenhouse is made entirely of glass to let in as much light as possible and give the plants a place to thrive while being protected from the weather. In contrast, a greenhouse serves a dual purpose — it is used both for growing plants and for storage. It is usually made of wood, has a few windows and includes a work area or bench.
-
Which direction should a potting shed face?
A potting shed should ideally face south or southeast for optimal sunlight exposure and temperature regulation. This orientation maximises natural light throughout the day, ensuring that plants receive sufficient sunlight for healthy growth. Additionally, a south-facing shed benefits from warmer temperatures, creating a more conducive environment for cultivating various plant species. By positioning the shed in this direction, gardeners can enhance their gardening endeavours' overall productivity and success.
