Last year I used a small one quart crockpot to heat my mini green house it worked like a champ. The draw back was I had to frequently add water. I am shopping the thrift stores for a larger crockpot for cheap.

I left a comment a few days ago & thought I would throw this out there also . Hopefully a lot of people have already had this thought . I just went to take care of my chickens & they have 5 gal buckets converted to hanging waterers. Well any way when I opened the 1st bucket to add fresh water there was a sizeable chunk of ice in it . I immediately went to this man's idea for the hanging buckets . Just a small hole in the edge of the lid to allow the cord to go thru is all that is necessary. Tiny in fact . Not only will it keep their water liquid for them it will also throw off some heat in the freezing weather . For me just another reason I like this guy , makes my brain work in a better way . All have a good day .

I have been desperate to find a limited heating system that doesn't present a fire hazard, since my greenhouse is so close to my house. I was able to find a solar generator/bank to run it. The black buckets are waiting. God bless.

I wonder if this could save someone's life. When the power goes out, a lot of people set up tents in the living room. They could pre-heat the tents when the storm starts and that heater would be easy to run with a solar power station. Hmmmm. We just went through a blizzard and people lost power. I didn't and I do have a generator and a solar power station, but some years the generators haven't started and I would only get a few hours with a space heater. This concept would give a more subtle heat source but it would be able to keep running.

Best idea insulating the ground ! My husband put black tar paper shingles against the brick wall of the house against which large windows lean making our little greenhouse. the tar paper heats the interior to 0ver 90-115F in the winter and when I left a very large earth filled clay pot inside, it also retained heat so that at the end of January, I harvested an armful of swiss chard which was planted in the ground. Amazing because chard is a tender plant and it was -25C to -13F [-13 to 8F ] at night and during the daytime as well. On a sunny day I'd shovel in snow to a depth of a foot, replace the windows, the snow would melt and water the little garden. No electricity needed. Using large water-filled soda bottles in black trash bags or painting them black will get quite hot and dissipate the heat throughout the night. Cheap and effective solution for night time heating. I'm in zone 4a.

Now you can start 20,000 plants.

The past 3 years I have used an Avalantor clear dome tent 10' x 10' with a portable heater on a black metal stand and a 5gal bucket of water nearby for a heating conductor and moisture. With that, I have had great success thru wind, rain, ice, and little snow. I have a variety of plants. Some tropical, sun and shade plants, simple annuals, and some baby perennials that can't take the cold yet due to being neglected and needing rehab. Last year, I did use bubble wrap to help as an insulator but putting it in the tent and getting the tape to stick was a nightmare until I found the perfect kind of magic tape. This year, I upgraded. I am now trying to heat a 12'x12' Avalantor Clear dome tent. I am looking for 2 things. 1. Suggestions on an actual heater that is not hundreds and thousands of $$ to buy or run. 2. Any other heating options within the tent that will hold at least 55* and above temp. I do LOVE the heating suggestions on this channel with a fish tank heater and a black container but don't think my tropical plants will go for it without losing too much foliage and recover to bloom fully next year as they struggled in the past to get full again with anything lower in temps. However, I am going to give it a shot. Also, we are expecting a big snow storm this year and would like to be prepared. I have my tent tucked up close to the house for protection from harsh weather such as wind and snow. It also provides half shade and allows half sun. Plants are placed accordingly around the tent. Love your channel. I am new to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos. Gardening is a hobby for me and I have invested a lot of money in it over time to save money each year. The tent or makeshift greenhouse is a HUGE stretch for me and my budget but lasts me years and hoping more than 3yrs like my last one that I still have and is a backup if needed. Too, it comes down in late spring and my patio is used for the summer as it should be. Of course if I can heat w/o electricity or anything complex I am all for it. Saving money is key. Things I have gotten from your videos and comments that will help: black mats, black containers, and the fish tank heaters. If there are any other suggestions besides using compost or more dirt that I might be missing and / or someone has a heater they use they feel safe with, I would like hear about it. Thanks! PS: my concern with the black mats on the patio are bugs and mold. I got ladybugs to help with some bugs but curious if anyone else has ended up with a problem. Like ants from pots and mold growing under from watering and etc ...

You can also compost in your greenhouse and if you mix it correctly it will reach $140-150° will be your own little heater also. I have a 1500 gallon cistern I use to water animals and plants and my garden I'm thinking about getting an additional one and composting to keep my greenhouse warm. Let me clarify I already have the sister and I want to build a greenhouse around it and add an additional cistern. Should work like a champ!

I love your idea because our temperatures here in Washington State gets pretty low. We’ve been having snowy weeks now. Thanks so much for sharing your great ideas. As a matter of fact I’m gonna order the exact put together system that you’ve created to protect my plants that I e already stay indoors and bring them outdoors. Thanks again and keep up with more of other ideas that comes to your mind.

Had an example in thermodynamics in college where a farmer used a large bucket of water in a room to keep his plants alive. Essentially the water becomes a heat “bank” for the surroundings, just like in this instance

Genius! Maybe just wrap the bucket in a black trash bag, instead of paint? I would consider this for space heating as well! Well done!

genius! thanks! Do you find that it is too moist in the greenhouse or does the cardboard lid work well for keeping moisture in? I wonder if putting large rocks in the bucket would help, hurt, or offer no change in the heat sink of the water?
