[Market-farming] Bench heating in greenhouse

Sounds simple enough!

How close together are your lines of pex tubing?  I'm wondering how tight of
a turn you can make with the tubing.  Do you find that you get cold strips
in between the lines of tubing?

How long is your run of tubing?  Do you have an idea what the maximum length
of a run could be?

Thanks,

Rachel
