Hmmm something about this green house says ausi to me. I would say hotdog heater just make sure its not blowing too hard on the plastic or plants maybe set it on a climate control or lights seem like they would helpHey fellow farmers

That's one of the methods outlined in one of the links I shared, too. :) Rocks, water, brick, that sort of thing IIRC. :)Thermal mass is also very helpful in holding steady temps. 55 gallon barrels full of water are commonly used for this.
We just installed a couple of these !! Never even heard of em before yesterdayDouble layer of plastic with an air blower in between layers to keep it inflated.
Adding thermal mass. 1 gal of water/per/sq/ft of plastic (glazing) is rule of thumb.
Insulate north wall.
Cover plants with agriculture fabric. +4 degrees under fabric.
Add a woodstove.
-insulate around the perimeter of the greenhouse underground (prevents frost creep into the soil; maintains warmer soil.
I have even seen 2'x8' sheets of insulation laid on the ground and buried a few inches to keep the ground from freezing near the greenhouse.
