For instance you could cover the plant with an old comforter and then a sheet of plastic.
During a visit to a plastic sheeting plant.
Use 1 mm thick plastic to create the highest temperatures and 1 5 to 2 mm thick for windy areas.
Plastic seems like a good idea for frost protection but it s just too thin to provide any insulation to plants.
Lay the plastic sheeting over the bed.
Since frost forms when leaf temperatures dip simply covering the plant isn t going.
During a visit to a plastic sheeting plant it was observed that a 45 m long section of a 2 in nominal 6 03 em outer diameter steam pipe extended from one end of the plant to the other with no insulation on it.
Choose transparent uv resistant plastic sheeting with a thickness that suits your needs.
Don t forget that whatever you choose to cover plants the cover must extend all the way to the ground.
During a visit to a plastic sheeting plant it was observed that a 60 m long section of a 2 in nominal 6 03 cm outer diameter steam pipe extended from one end of the plant to the other with no insulation on it.
The temperature measurements at several locations revealed that the average temperature of the exposed surfaces of the steam pipe was.
