Hi All
Is it safe to use a paraffin heater in a small 4 tier greenhouse(one of those from b@q ) ??????    ???

[lilylover]

Definitely no.........and trust me I'm speaking from an experience  when my brain was otherwise engaged.  :-[

Thanks Lily

I thought twice about it as it was very windy today and being that pvc cover i had images of a nasty fire!! :'(   I have sown some tomatoes and peppers today but are nice and safe and warm on the spare bedroom windowsill. I have potatoes chitting in the 4 tier greenhouse as I belive they don't like too warm an environment, please correct me if im wrong, cheers  :)

Make sure your spuds dont get frosted as they wont like you for that. The plastic grow houses offer only a few degrees of frost protection.

Thanks Jerry, I will bring them inside when the frost is about. At the moment it is very windy but not too bad.
