-8 degrees and everything freezes. If you only have a garden I would put in a totally insulated ( 2") shed/shelter about 2 sq meters and install a greenhouse heater(electric with a paraffin backup for electric cuts. Bring in underground or insulated a water supply and have an outlet for waste that will not freeze back up the outlet pipe (protected.
 And away you go  :)

Exactly how I got started, I put it all on a card then as soon as everything was bought, I transferred it to a new card offering 0% on balance transfers,
As long as you keep an eye on it and move to a new card offering 0% each time as the "free" period expires you will get the kit you need at no extra cost.

Get  a Frost Stat Heater costs approx £30 ish and it will turn on when the temp reaches 0'C making sure it does not effect your Ro membranes.
