I've never bothered with insulating the gh over winter in the past, and I'm not altogether sure I will in the future, but wondered if anyone else does.
In the recent cold spring nights, like everyone else, I've been covering the staging and ground level plants with fleece and as I had some fat 1" bubble leftover packaging I used this as insulation against the glass where I had tenders. I was wondering whether to invest in some proper bubblewrap insulation and if so which size bubbles are best, big or small. To be any benefit does the whole area of glass (roof and walls) need doing? I have no doubt there are calculations of heat coefficients etc, but I'll go with gut feelings in the end
Any ideas or thoughts?
