I'm pondering what I might do to more efficiently heat my small
greenhouse to a minimal extent (40F). With the increase in the price
of natural gas I wonder if electric would be about the same? I also
want to consider assembling a table with a clear plastic cover to
contain the heat to a smaller area. Perhaps I could create a heated
table top? That would be useful next Spring. I suppose resistance wire
in a thin bed of sand?
There was a thread on...rec.gardens, I think...a while back on
using a waterbed heater to warm a seed tray. There were several
people who had tried it, I believe, but also a couple of warnings
about fire hazards.
You could probably google under the rec.gardens hierarchy for
"waterbed heaters" and pull up the information.
