ive tried all over the net for advice on heating,lighting etc.
can anyone help or tell me best place to find it.




How close is your greenhouse to an electricity supply?

If you want mains electricity in your greenhouse, the supply is now
goverened by the part (prat?) P regulations and can onlybe done
officially by a qualified electrician - ask in uk.d-i-y for ideas

If you want to heat the whole greenhouse, insulate it with bubble
plastic - but even then it will be very expensive.

If you only want to raise some seedlings in the spring, I have
successfully used a heated propagator. Build a tray 5 or 6 inches deep
and use this to make a heated bed using soil warming cable. Then mount
an aluminium cold frame on top (make the bed to fitthe cold frame) and
insulate the cold frame with bubble plastic. For the last 5 ears I have
had no problems raising seedlings using this system, starting in February
