Side view of the interior hoophouse setup inside the main greenhouse. Five gallon bucket filled with hot water is buried halfway into the soil, a 1500 watt electric heater is pointed directly into the side of the bucket at a distance of 4 to 5 inches keeping the water very warm, the bucket then transfers the heat directly into the soil. This will go on for the next three or four days until transplant day, at which time I will remove the bucket and transplant the 1789 into the hole in which the 5 gallon bucket of hot water has been, by that time the ground temperature should be in the low 70s. You have to be resourceful to beat Jack Frost at his own game up here.
