Hi everyone!

We built a 14 x 26 greenhouse in the spring but now comes the problem of how to heat this greenhouse.

Some very nice people have given us some ideas and some items to get us going, but no instructions or directions.

Now that we have a small wood burning stove and a 44 gal water drum that we are supposed to heat this greenhouse with, I need to know just how to set this up.

DH tells me that we need to heat water on this stove and the water is pumped into this 44 gal drum and then into pipes around the walls of the greenhouse.

Sooooo..... does anyone know of a web site where there could be instructions to set this up?

Also, we still have a dirt floor and I need to know what is the best flooring for the greenhouse, and should I consider the heat source when installing this floor? I would like a concrete floor.

FYI Our temps here can drop to -32c, -25F in winter, but usually not for more than two or three weeks. Some years we get quite a bit of snow. Not usually more than 1'. We also live in a windy area so we have thought about wind and solar. Any suggestions on that would be most welcome!

Oh yes, we also put a little pond in the greenhouse and that will overwinter my tropical aquatics as well as a few shubunkins.

Thanks!!!!
