in the summer it might keep heat out. and cut the light down. an advantage for some plants (most of those I grow)
In the sticks near Peterborough
No chance of ever cleaning my greenhouse except for the height of summer!
It is currently stuffed to the gunwales with a variety of ornamental and non-hardy plants, pots of bulbs etc. Have to overwinter lots of stuff that those in gentler climes can leave outside.
I will need to add another temporary shelf unit at seed sowing time!
I Will only be using it till late spring .
It will help keep heat in especially if you use supplementary heating it will reduce the cost. As Nutculet says though, it will cut light levels which can be an issue at this time of the year when light levels are already low. Watch for plants becoming etiolated (thin & leggy) & remove at least some of the roof insulation as soon as the weather improves.
