Last year's winter sowing was great. So here I am back again, seeds in hand anxious to begin again. This year though, Greenhouse envy has gotten the best of me. I have a tiny greenhouse/plant stand with plastic covering. I've been thinking about providing a low level of heat to ward off freezing temperatures. Last year, during the coldest nights, I stuck a couple of candles lodged in cat litter on the bottom row. This year, I've been thinking that that was probably not such a great idea. I've been thinking of purchasing a couple of those battery opperated lights (I think I've seen them on "as shown on tv" or some such) during very cold nights. The only other alternative I can think of, digging a hole and placing manure in it, is not practical for a couple of reasons. Can any one help me brainstorm providing a source of heat without using electricity (or candles:)
Thanks Very Much,
Marlene
