    Well, the way I see it, it's an investment. I've put in power to my G/H to this end. In the past, I've used paraffin heaters which were ok, I guess, but I'd like a little more control AND I don't want to heat the whole G/H. A new frock eh, what a waste of money :D cheers...freddy.

    It looks very hi tech to me, but I wonder about the worth of it. What are you going to put in it?

    The 4ft x 2ft area works out at £12.50 per sq ft which seems a bit on the expensive side.
    It would be much cheaper to make your own ;)

    Make my own Hex !! Are you crazy !! I want something that wont let me down ;) Oh Nutty One, no, the fumes make no difference at all, besides, most of the common pests show up later in the season when the heating has long since been turned off. lollipop, I'll have no problem finding things to put in it ! Propagating seedlings for my veg patch and flower borders, I actually wonder if it will be big enough bearing in mind that spring (Dec-March in a greenhouse) is a very busy time ! Cheers...freddy.
