Default Re: Cold protection tricks

With the cold we are having now we need every trick in the book at the same time.

My problem is I have more plants to protect than I have protection for--so for the few that have minimal protection--they are probably goners. My best protection is all 3--wrapping, adding thermal mass, and an alternate heat source (Christmas lights). The wrapping slows down the cooling, the additional thermal mass increases the amount of cooling needed to cause freezing plus the additional heat is more easily stored.
