				| Danero, there was 1 C by celsius in the old greenhouse when outside was -27 C! The old greenhouse has 0,9 m depth. It is difficult to build a such deep tranch.  |  |

				| yes I know but how do you get in , I'm 6.5 feet tall     
Also you said that in the old greenhouse you had 1C , the new one have never been tested in guess so in the heat of the summer day what is the ratio outside/inside temp
 
thank you  |  |

				| The frost was on the ground only. The temperature at height above 1 m was +1,7 C. The same temperature was in the Kherson witch is located near Black sea     This autumn is very cold.
 
My citruses have quite well sunlight - the walls have reflectors.
 
P.S. what is WLD?    |  |

				| winter leaf drop - caused by the sun rays on a cold day when the leaf temp is very high due to the sun and the soil is under 20 C  |  |

				| Very impressive! Try putting some metal barrels painted black filled with water to store the heat from the sun during the day, at night they will give the heat back and keep the greenhouse warmer.  |  |
