Does anyone know if there are any other ways to heat flats in greenhouses other than heating pads for bottom heat? Is there a less expensive way?
Is it possible to create a rainforest environment within my greenhouse for heat and moisture in the middle of the winter and lake effect snow? Dimensions for greenhouse are as follows: 12'X 8'X 20'
thanks, chuckie zone 5
I use a hot table. I have a small undersink water heater (2 gallons) and a circulating pump and a thermostat. Stick the thermostat sensor under a flat on the table and use the thermostat to control the circulating pump. This way I have a 5 x 10' table for propagation for the price of about 3-4 heating mats.
I cover the unused parts of the table with cardboard or something to reduce heat loss. (eventually the table is filled, but not all at once).

How about a picture of your setup and maybe the manufacturer of that
2 gallon water heater?
