My greenhouse is finally operational. It's been a refreshing change
walking into an area with high humidity and warmth where plants are
actually growing rather than just hanging on in our usual cool dry conditions.
A couple potential problems have come up and I'm hoping to get advice:
1. The humidity may be a tad too high. I've got a meter in the room
saying that the humidity is up to 65%. Is that too high? Could plants
suffer? I could fix it easily (and also humidify some of the house) by
keeping one of the doors open slightly.
2. Probably because of the humidity, many of the pots have a fuzzy fungus
growing on the soil surface. Should I be spraying it with Daconil, or
pouring Benomyl onto it or is this type of fungus benign? If I should be
trying to control it, what's the best control measure?
