Winniecat , inveiw of what you are putting in I would definatly insulant , also if it was a really bad winter you put some around the plants as well
the lowest tempeture I have recorded is -11 about 4 years go , I had some spuds growing in potatoes sacks for Christmas and they froze sold , complete mush when they defrosted
Morning all from rainy Norfolk,,, anyone have any info on the east (Norfolk ) side ,im 100 yards from the sea protected by a mobile home park which kills a good bit of the Easterlies coming in,but i dont have any real knowledge of frost, last winter our first we had no frost but i need to know the usual frost conditions around here so i can decide weather bubble or not is going to be required,??? maybe Dove might know as she is fairly close even though she,s a Towny Posh side of town of course all info appreciated ....
Alan, its always worth going to the trouble to insulate, you never know if the weather will turn frosty or not (we had none last year but I still took the precaution). Even if we get no frost temperatures can still dip quite low. I keep a little paraffin heater on standby too.
Alan - I used to live in sunny Yarmouth. Winters often cold but not usually hard frosts - however....
I can think of at least 2 periods in the last 30 years when we had snowdrifts up to 10' deep and villages cut off for several days. One night it was down to -17C!
If you have lots of precious things I would definitely consider insulating. If they're more mundane & don't want to make the effort the odds are you will be ok (could always consider moving a few more valuable things into the house if the forecast warrants it)
It's prob cheaper to buy bubble wrap online - failing that stationers / post office.
As others have said - go for the big bubbles.

I would say for what you have there, Winnie yes it would be a good thing. I have seen ice on the inside in some winters.
