Extending the Growing Season: My Trials in the Keder Display Greenhouses
Over the past few months, Dianne and I from Growing Crazy have been spending a lot of time at Keder Greenhouses’ HQ, putting their display greenhouses through their paces and growing a wide range of crops across the seasons. Our goal has been simple: to see how these structures perform year-round and how effectively they can help extend the growing season, allowing us to keep harvesting fresh ingredients for as long as possible.

Make your garden last a lifetime with a Keder greenhouse
Use a simple four-year cycle. Start with legumes to fix nitrogen. Follow with brassicas, which use that nitrogen for leafy growth. Their strong roots loosen the ground, preparing it for potatoes the next year. Potato foliage helps suppress weeds. Then grow root crops like carrots and beetroot. Loop back by planting legumes where roots were, as they enjoy the loosened soil.
