My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

greenhouse heating with waterbed tubes

20 years ago

From Gorham... Wondering if anyone has ever recycled their outdated waterbed tubes (from somma type mattresses) in a greenhouse or coldframe. I have several to experiment with this upcoming winter and would appreciate any imput. My greenhouse is a Minipro 8x10. I see Farmtek sells water "walls" so am thinking along those lines... Tubes are not black, but are dark bluish. Any hints?? Thanks.
