Instead of tape, you can use heating wires, creating the effect of a warm floor. Wires must be insulated and placed at a great distance from each other.
A greenhouse with such equipment is able to give highest yield. For heating, you can use a system of pipes laid around the perimeter of the greenhouse. Warm water flows from boilers or other heating elements into them. The greenhouse is upholstered with a special frost-resistant film, which is fixed on a wooden frame. This contributes to the creation of plants of a certain microclimate. Also, the greenhouse should have artificial lighting.

Dill is a very unpretentious plant and there are no special requirements for the composition of the soil. Any that is already in the greenhouse is suitable, but it is best to fertilize it with a small amount of potassium or nitrogen substances. Especially to heat the greenhouse is not necessary, as long as the temperature was not lower than 15 degrees. There are also no special requirements for lighting.
Since it is completely unprofitable for growing dill to contain a whole greenhouse, you can use a greenhouse in which other plants will grow as well.
