Re: question about Wall O Water

Hi,

I tried these also last year and didn't notice any real difference between
these and the tomatoes i started covered with 4liter milk jugs (bottoms cut
out, and the cap on or off in day/night temps.)
We're in  zone 2-A  so appreciate any jump we can get in the weather.
