My sweet husband is building a plant room (11x12) for me in our garage. He asked me if he could vent our laundy room via ducting & fan into the new room....hmmmm I have no experience with personal greenhouses. While this isn't an acutal greenhouse, it will be set up similarly. What do you all think of his idea? We had an egress window installed and should probably add an outside vent as well, but what about the humidity coming in from the dryer? Thanks in advance for you assistance!~Andrea |

You are sooooo considerate Rash, I should have pm'd you directly. I had many people suggest not venting the lint into the room, but it turns out I had misunderstood my husband-first time ever-really (  ). He wanted to vent the heat not the lint, so I feel it will work. He will start the project in the fall. Thanks again~A

I'm sure if someone knew the answer you would get a reply. Looks like your hubby knows what he is doing.  So a fan might work to force the heat out? This might be off topic, not sure, but we have a small window and a exhaust fan (?) in our laundry room. The exhaust fan does the job but some times I open the window too. It usually doesn't get too hot in the room. Using the machines works best at night though. ah heck not sure if this info. will help but maybe it will give you some ideas on how to get rid of the heat?

Oh, I did get some great advice when I posted the topic as a blog. I appreciate the additional info from you. Our fall will be busy getting two kids off to their first year of college, hiking the Grand Canyon, and visiting another child away at college. I really have no idea how we're going to find time to complete the project before the plants need to come inside! argh Thanks again~Andrea |

You really have to figure out what you want to grow first. Different plants need different environments. Maybe you should wait until your husband finished the job (which he may have by now) then measure the temperature and humidity that the dryer creates. The biggest problem is that it won't be consistent - you'd have to schedule you dirty clothes around the needs of your plants.
