I don't see how that insulation will do much insulating.
I concur with Malcolm. I'd just insulate the perimeter walls, making
very sure to use appropriate flashing or whatever to make a barrier
between the ground and the insulation (which would otherwise provide a
termite/bug/stuff path). Maybe you also want to put down a sturdy vapor
barrier over the entire dirt floor, if you haven't already.
Other than that, the air itself will provide decent insulation.
