Its difficult to remember, but I think as seedlings they did very well. I read that they didn't like to be moved - but I ignored that and they...
LongK - thanks for the info on Tacca. I have found one or two places that sell the seeds. I did try this year with no luck. But I think I upset...
Thanks Lolimac - I am going to look into that.Mine seem to be doing OK. But they are very small with, at most, only 3 small leaves. But I...
I didn't know that u values got that low. So I have just had an informative Google. I have assumed 2.1 for my glazing - I am not sure of the...
LongK - you've found a very old thread, but its nice that the oldies are not wiped off. Compared to 7 years ago, everything has changed and...
Val - I think the secret is to have way more ventilation than you think you need. When I spoke to a local nurseryman - he said exactly that. I...
Thanks Kristen - yes thats exactly what the Northern Electricity building was based on. Though, in addition they had this huge heat sink/source in...

I would love to visit Charlie's nursery. He has some wonderful climbers - but it a long way from Yorkshire. :sad: One of his plants that I want...

I have just acquired a garden room for the first time - see Garden Room thread, and with help from Kristen, Pete and others have decided to just...
I was interested to see the cost of energy from heat pumps quoted in your cost table link. I note that they were little different from household...
Yeas, absolutely. I said its a mine field - there are so many other aspects to take into account. And in houses which are vented under the...
I have avoided doing heating loss calculations - because it is a minefield. But you have shamed me into doing a few figures. Some time ago I...
Again - excellent link thanks Kristen. The difference between my TLC unit and your link is that one is Chinese (I presume) and the other German....
Dave - brilliant. I knew butane was used by campers, but it never occured to me that its higher boiling point meant that the containers are...
Fileyboy - its some way from the house, so I have ruled out taking a gas pipe from the house. I have been thinking about a propane heater, but...
Zigs - yes I read that. That propane works at a much lower temperature. If butane freezes more easily and costs more than propane - who uses it?...
Kristen - very many thanks for your detailed reply. You have (as always) really given me something to think about. I found your fuel price...
