that is a great idea you should go for it! just yesterday I had the idea of actually getting around to it. now there are so many ideas coming, solar blankets, barrals for heat, raised beds like you sadi I am going to dig down a bit bout 7 in and level it and make a large raised bed. But for now I have to finish constructing it . it's really exciting how much more you can do ith a greenhouse.
