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.

Feb-ROO-airy. I can't stop saying it this way. Help me tiny ad!
