[QUOTE="excat, post: 2339312, member: 29449"] I recommend this book, lots of tricks to heating an outdoor greenhouse, requires a lot of water though to soak up enough heat to disperse when it really counts. Great book to read though for working in a greenhouse. [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555914500/ref=oh_details_o07_s02_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/url] We ended up insulating our green house with bubble wrap this year, and will insulate down the first 3 inches into the soil and up the edge 3" with foam insulation board next year. Since I didn't have time to get everything done this year, I built a hot house inside the green house, which is holding a steady temp of 55 degrees when it's 28 degrees outside. I have 4 - 4" grow bulbs, 4 heat lamps, and 1 small heater. I only run the grow lights during the day so the plants can rest at night, run the radiant heater all day on low setting, and have 1 of the heat lamps on 24/7 so you can see when you go out there at night. Everything is setup on photocells and scheduled timers. The radiant heater only increased my electric bill by less than $10, so I can't complain about that. BB- what kind of greenhouse did you have?
