Is your Alpine house cool, or does it need heat Brian?

Sheilabub There will be heat available if temperature drops below 1c degree just to keep frost out

Brin, how big is your alpine house? Sounds a good idea like Sheila says.

Thanks Brian. I think I might try a few just to brighten up the winter in my greenhouse. Luckily it’s made with cedar so hasn’t yet gone below 10 degrees (I don’t have any heat available).

Kate there are two, a cedar one 10x8 ft and an aluminium one 12x12 ft they both have there uses for plants other than alpines the large one gets to hot for most in summer the wooden one does not heat up or cool down as rapidly

Thanks Brian, they are both pretty big. Wish I had some space in the back! I do love alpines. I can imagine they both house some really interesting plants.
