well ...isn't it too cold because of the cement and the stone inside of it?
I mean if leaving the walls as it is without cover , the soil will act like cooler/heater throw the winter months.Instead they keep the temp. a little too low.
Just my opinion
Later Edit:
Nice flowers |

Yes, it is. When the temperature outside is -7 C -9 C at night it is possible to get below +2 C inside. |

so you got some heaters then if it drops ? I m thinking of buying some special panels
they have air between the two sides so offers more protection , also the frame must not be from metal or aluminium as it conduct cold throw the panel and inside .I consider wood or PVC frame is the best along with 1 or 2 panel over them. The light level remains the same but the cold stays outside

I don't use any heaters if the temperature drops. |

larger and larger is the word , as the air volume increases also it is more hardier that the air will freeze
So you are not afraid of ground freezing as I read? |
