Amy mike!! Miss you both! Haven’t been around here as you guys know when life gets crazy I tend to not be on here much and life these days is always crazy lol! I feel as I get older I’m juggling much more than when I was younger and had more energy to handle all of these things lol go figure. Amy i am so excited for you!!! Finally a greenhouse! :) you will love it I can tell you it hasn’t been the same since I got mine I spend most of my days in there now and the trees just go wild in the winter I feel much like Brian does im Sure as though I’m in the tropicsalthough a little colder lol.
im not sure if I’m of much help with heaters because our winters are much more mild than yours over there. But I can tell you I run two heaters and they’re set at 50-60 F degrees and when it’s the dead of winter they run 24/7 when it dipped to -10C outside it got to about 1C inside the greenhouse and it’s single pane glass so it’s not very good at keeping warmth. Not to mention the greenhouse is in a north facing backyard and is far away from the house so no extra heating there. This is the picture of my heater excuse the dust bunnies lol it’s been sitting in my garage for a while now.
It was a cheap one I got at Home Depot probably $20 or something works well enough for me though I think it runs at 1000watts at its highest though I run both on lowest setting so maybe 1000w for the two combined.
amy I am dying to see all your beautiful trees I think I saw some on another thread lol see you there! Oh and please keep me updated on your greenhouse would love to see pictures of it :)
oh and tell your husband like I did that if I’m at the greenhouse it means I can’t nag him about house chores lol!
Here it is from the outside in the dead of winter as you can see the single pane glass is not insulating at all plus it’s on a deck with lots of gaps so I do have heat loss there too and cold air gets in from there but the trees were all fine.
