In his Winter Growing Manual, he states that he keeps one house just above
freezing - calls it his 32 degree house. He uses it to grow crops that are
more tender, and also for post-harvest handling of his produce (water lines
don't freeze, and neither does the farmer and his product)
We have found that the soil has a huge thermal mass and acts as a flywheel
for temperatures for us. We had night temperatures of -3 to -4 two weeks
ago, and most of our crops sailed right through. The mesclun right now is
gorgeous!
