or just row cover. It's a neat spun fabric which lets light through, but keeps heat in. When it's placed over the soil, it slows down the heat loss to the air on chilly nights. During the day, light can get through and plants continue to grow. Kinda like a mini greenhouse that can be rolled up when not needed. This stuff will help me get a jump on the spring season by trapping some of the daytime heat, and keeping the soil above freezing. Same thing thing for the fall. I took advantage of a February sale and picked up a roll for inside the hoop house. It comes in a 30' x 150' roll, but I thought it would be folded four times, to make a 7.5 foot long roll, whups. Just one fold, and it won't fit inside the truck. Good thing Ruthie is driving.
Back inside, I've been messing around with the soil blocker. More on that later.
If I were a seed, that would look pretty cozy.
