I have a small homemade greenhouse (hoophouse) heated with two liter
plastic Pepsi bottles. The difference in mine and everybody else's
seems to be the fact that I fill the bottles with hot water at night
and put them inside the cold frame. Since I live in South Carolina, I
don't have to do this for long, and it doesn't seem to be that much
trouble. Six hot water filled bottles keeps my little greenhouse
plenty warm enough.
Never lost a plant yet doing this, and I don't have to worry that the
water didn't get warm enough.

I was thinking a bunch of those black balloons that you often see at
people's 40th birthday party - filled with water of course.
Any better ideas?
