Default Re: Low 20's forcasted for Tampa FL bummer!



Great Idea! They're light enough to just lift off with the plastic still attached and store, ready to slip back over at any cold threat. I presume the 5 gallon buckets with the holes cut out are for the lights/heat source? Seems a person could add weight to the bucket, and put the cover back on, and tie it all down in case of heavy wind.

Heck, I might try it to keep the plants growing thru winter instead of hibernating. I was wondering what I was gonna do when I get a nice bloom right at the end of summer. Not tonight though...we've got 35-50 mph winds coming tomorrow with about 3-4 inches of rain.

Good luck!
