putting a candle under a up sidedown clay pot and it warms up and keeps the frost out
Davyw1, whats the average temperature delta between your normal greenhouse, and the 'greenhouse within a greenhouse' Do you see a noticable difference?This reminds me of seeing Bob Flowerdew's 'tunnel in a tunnel' many years ago where he was growing all sorts of exotic fruit in there(although I have no idea how successful that actually was!)
Banksy I could not tell you the photo is of a mates, what i can tell you that he is getting good germination so it has to be above 60deg i will try and catch him tommorow and find out.
Davyw1, whats the average temperature delta between your normal greenhouse, and the 'greenhouse within a greenhouse' Do you see a noticable difference?Did this last year in my poly tunnel. I was getting 10 - 14 degrees celcius in mini house wheras polytunnel was not much over freezing. Germination rate very high. THIS DEFINATELY WORKS!!! No money spent on parrifin or or candles for me. Ill be doing it again this year, then the next, then the next, then the next..........Also, i have sown directly into the polytunnel borders and cover with cloches - did this with beetroot and carrot last feb as a tester and sure enough IT WORKED!!! Again, temp inside cloches was way over ambient poly temp.You can get mini tunnel/ cloches from poundland - It'll cost you a quid to prove me wrong!!

Is it just our paraffin thats STINKS or dose it all do it?
Neither, the best way to heat a greenhouse to whatever temperature you want is to build a heat sink. Yes there is an initial out lay of £60, but then it will run itself for life. Also consider the fact that burning paraffin feeds your plants.
