Greenhouse Conditions
Heating

Depending on your location and growing interests, you may need additional heating to supplement the heat generated through solar radiation. This adds to your expenses but allows you to extend your season. Use supplemental heating when the sun sets and the cold outside air begins to rob the greenhouse of its daytime warmth.

Forcing hot water through pipes on the inside perimeter is a conventional heating method. Combining a fan with a gas or oil heater or wood stove is another method for circulating warm air through the greenhouse. Be sure that whatever heating system you use is well vented and has a fresh-air intake.
