Humidity (up to a point) is usually a good thing in a greenhouse.

My opinions are barely worth the paper they are written on here, but hopefully they can spark some new ideas, or at least a different train of thought

I did this for years and years when I had a plastic greenhouse, and it was a delight to shower out there among the plants in the warmth of the afternoon. I think the plants enjoyed it too.
Even better than a hot shower in the greenhouse is a hot tub! A friend of mine has this, and fires it up on the coldest nights with a woodstove. The added benefit is he leaves the hot water in the tub overnight to help heat the greenhouse.

incandescent light gives off an efficient form of heat. You must be THIS smart to ride this ride. Tiny ad:
