Is there anything I can do to reduce condensation over the Winter? I am
presuming next year I should get a high level vent fan sorted out. I have
part of the greenhouse heated for the cacti and the auto vents are just shut
all the time - I have tried to adjuust them without any luck. I do keep the
doors and vents open for as long as I can in the day but its still so damp
in there ;-(

Thanks in advance

What form of heating do you use? If it's a paraffin heater, remember
that, as a rule of thumb, every gallon of paraffin you burn puts a
gallon of water into the atmosphere, much of which will condense on
cold surfaces. If you can't adjust the auto vents, try propping them
open a little with a block of wood.
