Keep your plants and people healthy this year
1. Add A Scarf
Providing heat just where you need it is easily accomplished with old-school Christmas lights or soil warming cables.
Heated Soil Cables
$35.00Grow faster with Heated Soil Cables. Water-resistant, built-in thermostat. Available in 3 sizes.
2. Heat what you need
In colder months, using an energy curtain across the bench will keep the lower half toasty warm.
3. Bubble Wrap
Line the interior walls for added insulation and reuse materials that you would typically throw in the garbage.
4. Black Barrels
Create a thermal heat sync by filling black rain barrels with water. It will heat up during the day and release the warmth at night.
5. Consider A Few Hand Warmers
A thermostat with a plug-in for your lights as well as a space heater will keep the chill off the plants when the temperatures really dip low while you are tied up in your office or fast asleep late at night.
Palma Twin Greenhouse Heater
$199.99Durable and efficient 1500W greenhouse heater with 5120 BTU heat output, splash-proof design, and a fan-only mode for versatile use in spaces up to 120 sq. ft.
6. Layer Up
For those with a polycarbonate greenhouse, there is an air space built into the cover. Just like Mom's advice to "wear an extra layer" for warmth, adding a layer of Agribon to your greenhouse can provide 2-7 degrees of frost protection, depending on the weight of the material used.
7. Don't Forget to Breathe
Having air in motion reduces the risk of freezing compared to stagnant air in cold spots or pockets within the greenhouse. Running a simple fan consistently throughout the year, whether in winter or summer, helps maintain airflow and prevents chilly areas from impacting plant sections during the winter season.
