Greenhouses break down after heavy snow

Heavy snowfall is causing problems for vegetable growers. Greenhouse owners complain that they barely have time to shovel the snow off their greenhouses.

Snow abundance – a serious challenge for greenhouses

„Winter is nice, but it's been a problem because there was no chance to go and clear it“, – one greenhouse owner shared on social media. 

„Mine broke down too“, – laments another vegetable grower.

How to survive a snowy winter

Specialists advise farmers to constantly clear snow from the roofs of greenhouses to prevent the weight from crushing the building. But with so much snow, such advice is of little help.

„I try to clear it, today there was about 10 cm of snow on the greenhouses again, I have already cleared it 3 times, with a plastic inverted rake, it comes off very easily“, – says another woman who grows vegetables.
