Nope, ,no bottom heat. Have them outside in my big homemade greenhouses. During the day it hot in their and the humidity is high. Have them solid black tarps on the floor of the greenhouses. Thought they might be warmer there. When the temps get low here at night it drops down to between 40 and 50F in there til the sun comes up.

Do I need some bottom heat under them? Any suggestions on how to do it in the greenhouse? Below is a pic of the second one in the process of being built and trying to move plants in at the same time before the cold snap came. They both a little over 20' x20'. Built them from scrap wood and put chicken wire on the top to re-enforce and put layers of 6 ml poly on them and built a swinging door from scrape pieces of fence and covered it with plastic too and then from the main ultility box ran six 60 watt light to each one. Gathered a bunch of new pallets to put the pots and flats on. Total cost 70 bucks for plastic and two boxes of staple gun nails. Everything else I gathered for free. : ) Still got enough scrape wood and stuff to do two more. Just gotta get some more plastic.
