Someone who has a dream of installing a greenhouse in the backyard may envision cultivating plants out there most of the year, effectively extending the growing season into early spring and through late fall. Considering plumbing needs is important. It may not seem like a big problem to use a garden hose for watering and to have several watering cans set up around the structure for convenience. However, these watering strategies can become cumbersome. A company such as AA Plumbing can add affordable plumbing features to the greenhouse to make watering easy and never a project that the owner wishes to avoid.
A sink and faucet inside the greenhouse makes filling watering cans and cleaning up more convenient. A plumber can arrange the system so water going down the drain simply flows into the yard or is captured in a rain barrel. A permit may be necessary, but the state of Ohio does allow gray water to be used in this manner. If the greenhouse is to be relatively large, having a plumber install pipes with faucets in several parts of the structure is preferable. Small hoses can then be attached to the faucets for watering in each row. That cuts down on the need to haul watering cans or to drag a heavy garden hose around the building. Using a garden hose is a possibility, but it can lead to knocking over potted plants at the corners of rows.
If having plumbing installed in the greenhouse isn’t feasible at the moment, a company like AA Plumbing can do it later. This may become particularly desirable if the property owner eventually decides to expand the greenhouse and to begin selling plants commercially. However, the person planning the greenhouse should at least have a plumber install an outdoor spigot as near to this structure as possible. Otherwise, connecting two or three garden hoses may be necessary to reach all parts of the greenhouse. In addition, those hoses will lie across the yard at all times, making lawn mowing and other yard work awkward.
