I bought one of these and proceeded to experiment with it, measuring air and soil temperatures inside and out. (I'm in zone 6, near New York City.) On a sunny day in late March, the temperature inside the SeedHouse will be much higher than outside, sometimes as much as thirty degrees more (I'd be careful about cooking your plants on a warm day!). It also holds humidity in very well, so it's good for germinating.

On the other hand, just like the instructions that come with it say, it will drop to ambient temperature at night. But over a couple of days, that still means a warmer temperature on average than outside, and it warms the soil perhaps five degrees. And I do expect that if I put a pail of water in it to store the heat of the day, it will probably protect it from spring hard freezes (within reason).

It also stays put well in the wind, as it's staked like a tent.

The one thing I don't know yet is the effect on the light. It cuts down on total light a little, but diffuses it. Is that good? I'll find out.

UPDATE: Even without putting a bucket of water in it, it protected my pepper plants from the first Fall freeze. I know that, because the peppers that I left out of it died that night. It was just a few hours below freezing, but that's a nice extender at the end of the growing season.

I started seeds in a square foot garden box in March with lettuces and spinach. Everything started really well! We had a huge snow fall after that and it protected everything that started to grow. The snow caved it in, but I brushed it off and with a little melting it popped back up the next day. The Lettuces and the Spinach were ready to eat in early June. It's almost too small for a 4X4 garden box, but I stretched it a little. I want to buy another for this year!
