hey everyone, do any of you know a good way to cool a greenhouse for sheap, i wihs i could afford a swamp cooler but that woint be for a while, meanwhile my plants are getting toasted
 
swamp coolers rock! lol
I really cant think of anything else. Maybe a small swamp cooler? lol
Fans would help too. Sorry! Try shadecloth
 
Convection venting (natural hot/cool air flow) is the cheapeast method...as is opening the door! But to be EFFECTIVE is another deal, swamp cooling in the best form for a CP greenhouse, next in line would be a fog/misting system activated, then have exhaust fans engage to create an evaporative effect.

Wouldn't it be easier to sheer the sheep to keep them cool? And a green house might be too confining for them. My mom used to let hers run around in her yard. Kept the grass short and fertilized

tuna- me too, it doesnt really help that much a little, I have a little fan I use but I want to upgrade from that

SP- The sarrs arent the ones I am worried about, my darlintonia, dionaea, and even some of my lowland neps! as well as a few of my daylilies that i recently got interested in after meeting one of the hybridizers
 
Why would you have hemerocallis in a green-house? Don't they need a winter dormancy? The ugly orange ones i have come back every year, un-
fortunately. They live in the dirt all year round, lol!

Good choice for experimenting with hybridising, though
