Solar Greenhouse Heaters
Does such a thing exist? I've seen one site listing them, but not
instock. I suppose you could make one somehow. My friend is not keen to use parafin as we do, but has no electricity that far along the garden. -- Gemini Bioscapes Plants & more on Ebay http://tinyurl.com/hi6g |

If you add thermal mass (usually water) to the north side of your greenhouse, this will absorb heat during the day and release it at night. Google "solar greenhouse" for more details. Tom |

Tom, I'm well aware of thermal mass heating. However I can't see my
friend having that setup in the garden. Could be an idea for something else tho. Thanks:) JW Tom wrote: GemBio wrote: Does such a thing exist? I've seen one site listing them, but not instock.
