| We ordered one the day "Growing for Market" arrived that contained the column on it and the ad. We;re very pleased. We are keeping an 8 by 24 foot insulated [5.5 inches thick] building at 45 to 50F with just a 6000 BTU air conditioner.[No magic here though. The CoolBot just makes the unit work a lot herder than it would as an ordinary room cooler with a minimum setting of 66F. It's pricey, but it has replaced three refrigerators which I think will save us a bundle in the long run. If we had a larger air conditioning unit, temperatures could be taken down even to below 32F. We humidify the air with a free-standing evaporative cooler when we load the cooler with market flowers. Zinnias don't hold up well at temperatures near freezing--hence the 45F temperature. Verdict is not in yet on using the evaporative cooler as a humidifier but we love the CoolBot. Readers are invited to visit our website where we share text and photos about our no-tillage, permanent mulch growing system. Good wishes,
