I was just wondering what type of fuel people are using in their greenhouses
and what the cost per unit is where ever you are...
I'll start
Last summer I locked in a price cap rate of $1.499 per gallon of fuel oil.
Most of the winter it was delivered at a cost of $1.479 per gallon but in
February it went to the cap rate and stayed there.
I just received a notice that I can lock in a rate of $1.949 per gallon
through April 0f 2006 if I act quickly.
Are heating oil prices this high everywhere?
My oil price was 1.84 when I filled the tank for the house in February.
I don't have a contract price, though... No idea where it is now, I
suspect it is at least 2.00 a gallon. I wouldn't be surprized if it is
more. I'll wait until July or so to fill it, maybe it will be cheaper.
I am not going to admit how many gallons I use a winter, so if you ask I
will pretend I didn't see.
I heat the greenhouse with propane... And it is expensive, too (1.79?).
I feel your pain, and I try not to think about how much gas I used
this winter...
Who needs cold fusion? I'll take hot fusion for the greenhouse...
