Greenhouses can expand your growing horizons from seed starting to growing tender plants. Heating and cooling in your greenhouse are critical for getting the most from it. The common heating methods are oil, gas, wood, electric, compost, and hot water. It's important to do your homework on the amount of heat you need and the price for maintaining the desired temperature.
Frost Protection and Optimal Temperature
For simple frost protection, you want to keep the temperature at 40°F. If you want your plants actively growing throughout the year, plants like it at 60°F.
Choosing the Right Heating Method
Take the time to research heating options that suit your greenhouse size, budget, and local climate. By optimizing your greenhouse temperature, you’ll ensure your plants thrive even in the coldest months of the year.
