Re: wall of waters -Reply

I personally haven't used the Wall of Water, but up here around Puget Sound,
our nights get a bit chilly for tomatoes, and I've heard they come in handy.
The water traps the sun's heat, and keeps the air temperature around the
tomatoes higher than the normal air.  Tomatoes don't grow very well if the
temperature drops below 60 degrees (I may be wrong about that - someone
correct me if I am), and we still have 40-some degree nights up here through
half of July.
