    Hi - just wondering if anyone knows how much it would be to heat a small greenhouse, say 8' x 6' polycarbonate or glass? What type of heater would be good and economical? It would be for brininging on seedlings/young plants from about march for a couple of months (not propagating them, I would do that in the house under flourescent light).
    Also, any idea what temperature is reasonable for seedlings/young plants to survive outside under glass? I know it is lower than germination temp. but how low can you go?

    I do have one of those cheap plastic argos greenhouses. Would that suffice for seedlings after March? Could I modify it?
    I have a good few seedlings sprouting at the moment and a lot more to come Feb & March and space in the house is going to be a big problem, or should I say, my wife is going to be a big problem :-)
    Thanks a lot!

    Should have said that these are annual bedding plants, not veg
