heating this greenhouse

18 years ago

My dad has a hobby greenhouse from Costco. It is 6'x10' (I THINK) with 7' headspace. The sides are the stiff clear siding (forget the technical name), not the poythylene sheet. I was wondering how many gallon milkjugs of water, with the jugs painted black, would keep this greenhouse from freezing at night? I am aware that there are variations involved such as greenhouse positioning and outdoor temps but can you give me a ballpark idea or formula? It isn't terribly cold out anymore but it does drop to freezing in there at night. Does anybody else use this method?
