I'm using a 4000 watt garage heater to heat my greenhouse, it keeps it between 50-60 in the winter, but I need to somehow insulate the floor, plants sitting around the side of the greenhouse on the floor get too cold.

@smurfboywv Thats a lot of watts! I don't what to tell you. put a wood stove in it.

I'm working on a similar passive solar heating system (black drums with water) and solar pop can heater with an old computer fan and cheap solar led garden light to power the fan

@MvTCracker I don't think the drums did all that much for me Maybe just here but I what to change it now before winter.

@london1817 well the greenhouse I have is much smaller....and made from old windows...glass and silicone. I hope the solar popcan air heater and fans make up the difference and on colder nights I will cover it in blankets...I have metal trays painted black to absorb some of the heat if things do not last the winter owell I will still have a better start in the spring...

@MvTCracker Well awesome! Thats all it takes to make starts. I love going in and seeing my stuff grow every day in spring. I wish I made mine smaller and able to cover at night. like 8x8.

That's a great idea! I am going to research it! Thanks!

Good Job!!! Have you considered; building growing beds, on top of your black painted water drums? That would help to keep your plants from freezing, in those cold winter nights.

I am going to try!

Hope to gain a zone with this setup.
