Title: greenhouse heater
Post by: thatruddyvicar on April 22, 2012, 20:11

I've been wondering about getting a greenhouse heater.

What are the advantages. My toms and peppers aren't shooting up as quick as I'd like.

I was given for Christmas a electric fan heater with a low setting (frost control) and i switch it on in the evenings, it dose not seem to cost to much to run and keeps the temp to about 5%deg above frezzing.
All my seedlings are doing fine.
When i am repotting i do turn up the heat a bit.
The heater was a greenhouse heater so must be water resistant, i think.
