Guest guest Posted February 24, 2000 Report Share Posted February 24, 2000 <<just read a tidbit on greenhouses by Elliot Coleman in the latest Mother Earth News. I don't have . <<He says that -- just like when you go outdoors to work and dress in layers That's a good idea. I guess Carols' idea of putting reflective material on the ground already helps quite a bit with insulation. Above that you'd need to protect the plant above groundlevel aswell i guess ? <<That is to say, within his greenhouse, he will put an additional small box covered with ramai (sp??) or plastic. That way, on very cold nights, there are two layers to protect the plants. You just use them at nights, right ? I can't see any good in covering a plant all the time. <<Anyway, right now the whole thing is covered with about 8 inches of snow. Yippee!! I can't help loving the snow, it's so cheerful. Snow ! Why ooh Lord did you forget Belgium this year :-) <<Didn't Prabhupada say that Krsna has snow in the Vaikuntha, and that it is different colors? Sounds great. Whatever. Any snow will do to satisfy this conditioned soul for now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was remay you used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was remay you used. Yes, I was. Not that it impressed the locusts... I wonder how many of the trees survived ? But, I wasn't aware that this was remay... and I couldn't figure it out from Carols letter either. dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
