Instructions
1. Insulate the north-facing wall of your greenhouse with greenhouse curtains or recycled bubble wrap. This will help in keeping the heat inside your greenhouse.
2. Paint a 55-gallon barrel or drum black or another dark reflective color. This will allow it to trap the most heat possible.
3. Place the barrel in the spot within the greenhouse that gets the most sunlight in the day. This will maximize the amount of heat that the heat sink absorbs in the greenhouse.
