One of the things that people suggested using were automatic cold frame
openers. They're little motorized gadgets that open the cold frame
slightly on warmer days to let air circulate through, then closes them
on colder days. I found some through A.M. Leonard and other mail order
sources, but nowhere does it say how they operate. Is an AC outlet
required? Or are they 12 volts, running off of a car battery? I
was wanting to build this _way_ in the back of the yard, and there's
currently no electricity out there. Maybe someday, but not now...
Comments?
