Market Farming

[<sunnfarm AT netscape.com>]

I have a 20x50 greenhouse that I use for propagating cuttings that has been heated with hot water in the benches for over 15 years. I would say its the only way to go. You can't beat rootzone heating. I use an oil fired 32 gallon water heater. I just rebuilt the whole system including home made manifolds. I use 1/4" tubing on the bench tops specially made for bench heating. Go to TrueLeaf 's web site and look at their setups... Bob.

To heat the soil blocks and plants in my large double poly greenhouse (3000 sq) , I am thinking of hooking up an on demand propane fired Bosch water heater to some pex tubing and running it on 9" spacing looped under my benches.

Anybody else try this?

Thanks J
