Re: enough/cold frames


I've been using an old storm window with an automatic opener. I used it
for the first time this past year for late winter-early spring overflow
from my basement growing area. I also used bubble wrap over the glass to
insulate it somewhat along with a blanket on those really cold nights.
It was fairly successful, but much too small or maybe I grow too much.

I'm interested in the fabric that you mention as a liner for pest prevention.
I planted to use hardware cloth this winter, but perhaps there is something
better. Just what is the fabric you use?
