Well as far as winters go, this one has been incredibly mild. It’s Feb 17 and looking outside there is no snow to be seen. We’ve had a little so far, but within a week it either rains or warms up and it melts. I’m not sure whose winter we’re getting but it sure isn’t ours.
Still, heating the greenhouse has had its’ups and downs. I bought a propane greenhouse heater from the Southern Burner Company and I am completely pleased with it. Its small and very effective, but I’m not liking the hassle of managing the propane tanks so I’ll be contacting them over the summer to see what they can provide me to convert this to natural gas. Running a gas line will save me some money and certainly will reduce my stress levels ( because I can’t ever forget about the propane tanks).
I was a little concerned about the non-vented heater and how much heat loss I’d have to live with leaving one of the roof vents slightly open, but that really hasn’t caused me any problems.
