I returned my former bog gardens to pond status due to feral cats using them as a litter box and also they seem to be irresistable to digging dogs. I added 3 more ponds for a total of 5 and am growing a different type of lotus in each so hopefully they'll at least be pretty. I built an above...

The swamp cooler will drop it about 60-80 degrees, my other greenhouse will hit 140 on a spring day if I dont have it on but its also because we have lower humidity here that it works so well. And yes it drops to mid 30s here so definitely still need a heater.

That and shade cloth and some shade paint, sure! It's been hitting 80 degrees max in the heat, my bigger greenhouse tops out at about 82 degrees even in hundred degree weather.

I figured I would consolidate all my pics as I go under a new thread since it's completely set up now. Heating is through a dairy heater and also two 4' bench heaters on a thermostat, cooling is a swamp cooler and front vent on another thermostat, humidity is a mist system hooked up to an RO...

A bit of work done on the electric. Made a plywood shelf and painted it white to hold and shield all the thermostats, plus the weatherproof electric box can sit on top. Quite happy with how well it turned out, the brackets are fit to hold it to the aluminum tracks using t bolts. Plus two trays...

The moss is actually for all the orchids in the other greenhouse, this will be mostly propagation and more delicate species :)

I ordered 2x4 foot panels to go in the 2 foot wide tracks and they kept slipping out and not fitting, thought I had measured wrong until I went and measured the panels...only 23 and 3/4 inches, I really needed that extra quarter inch :( The company said I could pay $60 to return the remaining...
