paraffin heater for small plastic polytunnel
John, not that I have a lot of knowledge as you will very soon be told by
the experts who post here, but my advice, coming over my shoulder from someone with over 50 years of gardening experience, is ................ don't bother with A) paraffin and B) 'over winter' as a beginner. Depending on where you are, I am on the South East Coast of the Isle of Wight, so our Winters are not tooooooooooooo bad, in our last house which had a very large garden and two long polytunnels, we used to plat our early potatoes on Boxing Day and had an early crop. No heat. Mike .................................................. adverts will follow "john t west" wrote in message ...

Thanks. Have you any idea the price of Paraffin? I'd either run an electric cable to the structure and use a fan heater or get a gas heater and run it in red bottled gas. Both cheaper alternatives to Paraffin, and a lot less trouble. David @ a still dry side of Swansea Bay |

David @ a still dry side of Swansea Bay Interesting discussion on the merits, costs etc of paraffin, on uk.d-i-y a year ago: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...-y/d3Dnu3zi7EE You have to be very careful about using any other form of "Paraffin" as the sulphur content can be higher and the fumes can act as a total plant killer. |
