Greenhouse Heating

[dounoharm]

if only we in the top of texas, worried about winter going down to the teens, lol....

Amarillo temps hit 0's for a couple days this year, and anyone with a greenhouse here better plan for that....PLUS our TEXAS GAS CO...let the lines plug up with condensate and SHUT DOWN ALL THE GAS in out town for 3 days in the worst weather we had in years!! I about had a cow!! I put my 5' heat mat on the floor and put the smallest plants on that, and grouped all the bigger ones as close as possible....our dyson heater had to heat inside as we were FREEZING!!
you just have to plan here in texas, heating and cooling are not gentle and easy topics....
oh, btw, I only lost a bloom spike on my cymbidiums! I was so happy it worked!
