Pity. I thought a greenhouse of any kind would make much more difference. But i hope they can increase the effect by keeping the inside dryer in winter and do a lot of passive heat retention and insulation.
Where near Sofia do you live. During my childhood in Sofia such exotic plants would have been impossible to obtain.
about 30 km from sofia, in a mountainous area, 830 m above sea level. Well there are sellers in our country, who happen to cary exotic stuff in summer, also there are the some people, who grow such species and sell them, mostly seed germinated plants, once in a while i do happen to find a species i have been searching for a long time.
Yes those tipes of plants do not grow outside anywhere in BG , you have to go to the botanical gardens or people's personal collections, to see them.
Drymifolia, my gh base has insulation on the concreete , on both sides, that does help alot. It is also not atached to the house, but rather one meter from the wall. But yes , the place where it is located is somewhat wind protected, and is kinda a sheltered location overall.
I would not reccomed wood stoves for greenhouses, too much maintenance and also could be a fire hazard. I was using one the first winter, the chimney catched fire a few times, i had to monitor the fire closely each evening, resulting in me staying regularly up to 1- 2 am, in order to be sure the fire wont die off, a single mistace is all it takes for a collection to be lost. BUT i did have a very small gh and also plants closeby enough to be fried from the heat, i quess in a much bigger gh, the wood stove wouldn't be such a pain...
