If it's just an earth floor you could do the whole thing, or if it's paved or has stone, maybe just a corner or in any beds you might have in there. Then pile up manure, leaves and grass clippings....get the reactions going to generate warmth. Would that last very long? Would it generate enough heat? Could a new greenhouse be planned to accommodate something like this on a regular basis - like compost beds underneath plant shelves?Jephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843262392217281569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26816599.post-63510916625482886802015-04-17T14:56:11.157-04:002015-04-17T14:56:11.157-04:00I would kill to have a greenhouse. I used to have ...I would kill to have a greenhouse. I used to have one YEARS ago. It cost, back then, like 250 dollars to heat for the winter. WORTH EVERY DIME>though I doubt we could afford to heat it all winter in this day and age. Nothing was better than going out in February and having geraniums and lilies and all sorts of goodies in full bloom, not to mention that glorious smell of wet earth. Now I've been reduced to a shelf full of lights in my "library"......totally NOT the same!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
