| Soil And Irrigation |
| Commercial potting soil is good for the average home garden greenhouse, especially if you're growing veggies in large beds rather than smaller houseplant pots. These soil mixtures should include sand, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and fir bark for adequate drainage. |

Stale Air
|
| Stale air is bad for plants. Your dome's shape will help to create healthy convection currents of air. Also, the small spaces around the dome's doors will provide a much change of air. To not make your dome air tight.

Too Cold
|
| Lower temperatures decrease plant vigor and growth. Consider adding "thermal mass" to your domes interior in the form of containers of water. Buckets, jugs, and drums work good. Flats can be set on them. The water will absorb heat in the day and give it off at night. Electric propagators, heaters, and clean burning heaters are effective in a cold spell in keeping the frost away. |

AVOID OVERHEATING!
|
| Your greenhouse is designed to collect and store solar heat. |
| If the temperature inside your greenhouse gets too hot, your plants will wilt and die. Try to develop a daily routine that maintains an optimum temperature. It takes but one hot hour to destroy all your work. It is better to leave your greenhouse open, and have it be a little cool, than to kill your plants with heat. |
