In My Unheated Greenhouse How Do I Water And Can I Heat It?

Question

I just built a double hoop house( 2 layers of plastic) with a 1″-3″ gap. My questions are: 1) How can I water my plants in the middle of a deep freeze (is it safe)? 2) I want to heat my hoop house with either a 2′-6′ Ice melting mat between 2 raised beds (64 sq ft) covered with round stones to act as a radiant heat system and / or using a overhead infrared heater. I live in zone 6B. My hoop house will get full morning sun up until around 3:00 PM in winter. Thank You
