Talk:Greenhouse

Hi, what do you think of merging the articles Polyhouse and Polytunnel into this article? They are both very short and it is very unlikly that they will be expanded in near future. Regards, --Kmw2700 (talk) 17:46, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Considering the length of both of these articles and the lack of recent activity in the talk pages of the articles, merging them into that larger greenhouse article makes complete sense. Kmp038 (talk) 23:08, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Rather than lumping it under "types", would separate materials and constructions sections be good, perhaps followed by something on uses? HLHJ (talk) 02:55, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

The Netherlands does a lot of nl:glastuinbouw (greenhouse horticulture), and nlwiki has a lot of information on this topic. With a little help from gtranslate one could use that info to expand this article further, or even build out into multiple articles. --Kim Bruning (talk) 13:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi -- I've added the AI generated tag to the Chinese Solar Greenhouse section as its originating diff contains many tells of LLM output. The sources may also be misinterpreted; the "up to 25C warmer" quote, in the source cited, does not outright say that this difference in warmth applies "even in winter," only that they are used in winter.

Thank you Gnoming!

I have rewritten the entire section. I also had to remove the image since I believe it to be copyright infringement. I also nominated it for deletion on the Commons.

Quick note on the terminology of the section by the way: I elected to not use the phrase "Chinese solar greenhouse" anywhere (despite its use in both of my sources) because I personally find it a strange terminology to use; obviously the Chinese engineer who invented this style of greenhouse does not call it that. I would accept its use though if all further sources discovered genuinely use that term chiefly. Altoids0 (talk) 22:17, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
