Re: Greenhouse Electric Heater

Bobby,

Whatever you do, you're sure to feel better simply knowing that you don't
have to worry about the plants freezing on those cold nights!

One last caveat:  electric heat in a wet greenhouse can be dangerous.  Be
sure to 1) ground it well, and 2) shield it in a way that  prevents
accidental watering or even misting.  When I used one, it was inside a
"tunnel" with stacked and siliconed brick walls on the sides, and a piece of
galvanized "roofing tin" siliconed to the top, with the front and back open
for the constant air flow of the GH fans.
