    This greenhouse was already well insulated with bubblewrap when we got the house.....just taking it off as it's scorching in there (even with doors and windows open).

    Wasn't sure whether to leave some on to prevent the sun scorching plants? Will they get enough or too little with leaving some on?

    Thoughts appreciated as always.

    @Snorky85 I would have left ALL the bubble insulation on as it DOES act as shading as well.

      Had to remove a lot of it as it was crumbling everywhere. The big bits at the side were the good bits.

      Does the insulation keep it cooler?! Was wondering about putting that white wash stuff on the glass instead??
