>Right now with my greenhouses heated to 60 degrees at night and outdoor temps averaging between 25-35* its costing me $300 per 1000 sq. ft per month for oil heat. I would say that 72* nights are excellent if you can afford it. Going hotter than 72* at night will not improve or speed up vegetable plant growth... Bob.
