I need some heat

[piskieinboots]

I've got an area at the front of my house (small area) which is ideal for making into makeshift greenhouse. Any ideas/views on best way to heat it please?

I use a bio green propane greenhouse heater in one of mine and a parrafin heater in the other, the propane one is only set to 4 degrees just to stop the greenhouse freezing. It seems to be working ok the spuds I planted last week have started to come through and the lettuce I planted last weekend have started to come through as well.

I have an oil-filled radiator in my greenhouse which operates on a thermostat to keep it frost-free.

Do you have any problems with your propane heater with regard to problems with plants.

If there is no ventilation it gets very damp in the greenhouse.
So I have one of the windows slightly open all the time.

We have a convector heater set to just above frost free in the porch when we start seed sowing, & a paraffin heater for the lottie greenhouse but there's nowt in there yet so not using it at the moment. Paraffin heating also requires a bit of ventilation to get the fumes/condensation out.

Why do I keep thinking of these lyrics:

Lookin' for some hot stuff baby this evenin'
I need some hot stuff baby tonight
I want some hot stuff baby this evenin'
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some love tonight
I need hot stuff
I want some hot stuff
I need some hot stuff

when I read this thread.

Have I stumbled back on the chilli thread?

A couple of days ago I purchased a paraffin heater and a 2l bottle of paraffin for £3.29 from B&Q. I was expecting to pay £9.99 but got a nice surprise when I got to the till. It explained why there was only one left.

Bargain of the week!
