One of the farmers here did something similar to a
growhouse-within-a-greenhouse, but went several steps further. He bought
some of those 4x8 sheets of insulation from the home improvement stores, built a
lightweight frame of those and 2x2's to create something of an insulated box,
hung a few shoplights in it, and then put his growtrays inside. Bottom
heat on the growtrays provided enough warmth and the shoplights provided enough
light that he starts a lot of his veggies that way. Some variation on that
might work. The only thing I didn't like about that approach was it was
sorta like a chest freezer - you have to bend over to reach into it. I'd
want something I could walk into, but I shouldn't fault the design since I don't
even have that much yet.
