    It's what he does @Wilderbeast. Over and over and over, late at night  :/
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    @Wilderbeast @Fairygirl - from what I have gleaned from this website (and one other), I suspect that the poster whom you are having a dig at is seriously poorly.  He is just trying to impart his knowledge and if that means very technical spiel in the wee hours of the morning when pain meds (or whatever) may be wearing off, so be it.

    I was only being silly not meant to cause offence, my English is so bad my 7year old makes me feel inadequate

    We live nearly as high as flash in Staffordshire so get very cold and exposed to winds,
    I line the inside of mine with large bubble wrap and have stored plants in one for winter (lucky I have 3 )NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.Hope this helps.

    He has also caused a lot of bother on this forum, including sending very dubious PMs to people, and returns under different names when  he gets told off by the mods @2 point 4  :)

    The secret will obviously be to place them on a north side of the greenhouse for maximum exposure to sunlight/solar warmth, and to stack them as high as possible for the same reason.
    Could you explain how this "north side" thing works, Nick. Is it different for a greenhouse - light focused by the two sides, warmth mainly from ambient inside the greenhouse, not shadowing plants etc?

    I have never had a greenhouse. Just conservatories, and I always put those on the N side of houses, well insulated, to get 10 months of use from them and not be roasted or frozen. That is, avoid extremes -  but that is a different case.

    Thanks.
