I'm planning to put a small lean-to polycarbonate greenhouse on the
south side of my house. The floor will be insulated underneath (it
can't be at ground level due to tree roots), and we'll do everything
we can for thermal mass - water containers in front supporting the
beds, and a brick paver walkway - but I'm still concerned about how
cold-hardy it's going to be here in Michigan (it will only have
solar heating). At a minimum, I'd like to be able to start seeds in
it in March (as opposed to in my living room)... I would love to
hear of others' experiences with small greenhouses in cold climates,
and what diy modifications they might have tried to prevent the
plants inside from freezing. I'll be glad to share whatever I learn
from my experiences.
