Sorry - facetious comment! It would be possible, I suppose, to have a flue pipe from the Dalek leading into the greenhouse. I have sometimes thought that tumble driers should also be vented through a greenhouse. There must be lots of ways of putting heat into a greenhouse other than by conventional heaters. Must think on!!!

Ermhh through the door!! They weren't daft enough to block the access. If you get a chance to see programmes like the Victorian Kitchen Garden presented by Harry Doson (I think), I'm almost certain that at least one episode showed how it was done and the gardeners were even able to produce melons for them in the big house.
There was no shortage of horsemuck and cartloads from the stables were used and that was replaced regularly when it had run out of steam. The amount of heat generated by a dalek would be piffling in comparison.Last edited by Aberdeenplotter; 16-11-2011, 08:32 AM.

Originally posted by mothhawk View PostBut so are cows, goats and sheep, if you use farmyard manure - only male animals are routinely castrated, so unless you specifically request and can obtain manure from castrated males only, then you are bound to get hormone residue. Regular riding stables/livery yards will have their quota of mares, all going through a 3 weekly hormonal cycle, so where is the difference?
