I’ve set my greenhouse up in a
similar fashion: we use an outdoor wood furnace/boiler to heat the house, and
in the spring I open a second line to the greenhouse that feeds into both a
radiator with a fan on a thermostat behind it, and into a length of ½”
pex tubing that makes four passes under a 3’ wide, 40’ long bench
that holds most of my early starts. I used the system on a 10’ section of
the bench for a few years, and expanded it to the full length last spring. I
drape plastic over this bench to create a greenhouse-within-a-greenhouse on
cold nights, and use the fan/radiator combination to blow heat into the rest of
the greenhouse on any colder nights that come along once I’ve outgrown
this first bench. I’ve been very pleased with the performance, though I
can’t really speak to the efficiency since the wood we’re burning
is heating the house, too. Cheers, Rob Songberry Organic Farm 24 Sixth Line, facebook: "Songberry Organic

recently on a farm near Regards, |
