Plant House Replaces Manure Hotbed For Illinois Gardeners
The University of Illinois reports that glass sash plant houses offer easier control of humidity and temperature than manure hotbeds. An 18 by 10 foot unit with standard sash roofing provides warm, daylighted space for two 4 by 18 foot benches, reducing Feb to April hard work. Longer houses use electricity or small hot water systems, while heat is supplied by a north end stove and a ridge vent to the south.
