Default Re: DIY greenhouse - $30 maybe

2nd day of heating the solar hot tub - up to 96 by 1:30pm
I expect to top 100 tomorrow


And as an added bonus the greenhouse has been staying under 80
I am going to need to make a new custom hot water panel for over the greenhouse
The 4x12 is too big
I think one 30" x 12' will work

The spare 4x12 panel will go out to the hot tub by the pool
OR, I might use it to preheat water to the water heater
I really need to collect some more sliding glass doors & make the solar hot water heater for the house

Maybe I can make one to help heat the greenhouse in the early spring & late fall

Seedlings are doing very well
Tomato plants are getting pretty big
Peppers are still small, very slow to grow
I will have to start them earlier next year
Actually I will need to start everything at least 2 weeks earlier next year
