Bubble wrap may be used to cover and heat a greenhouse in winter.
Easy Grow is a line of greenhouses manufactured by the Easy Grow Greenhouse company. These greenhouses are designed with the backyard gardener in mind. The products are simple to assemble and have an aluminum frame and polycarbonite cover. Like all greenhouses. Easy Grow are not insulated and may loose heat at night. Insulating an Easy Grow greenhouse may be accomplished by covering the greenhouse with additional film or covering layers. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Unroll bubble wrap sheets and pull them over the panels of your greenhouse with the bubble side facing downward. The bubble wrap comprises tiny air pockets. These pockets of air have an insulating effect that is similar to that of an inflated greenhouse plastic cover.
2. Overlap each sheet of bubble wrap by 2 inches so that heat cannot escape along the seams of the plastic. Tape the sheets together using plastic strapping tape.
3. Place a black plastic rain barrel inside the greenhouse. Fill the barrel with water. The barrel will absorb solar radiation during the day and heat the water inside of it. At night the water will release the heat and warm the air inside the greenhouse.
