What is a hot cap?

A hot cap is a tool that is used to protect fine plants in cold weather. The hot caps fall under the family of tools known as the "season extensions" because they can be used to extend the growing season, especially in areas where this period may be short. In addition to insulating plants from low temperatures, hot closures protect them from impact birds and small animals, giving them a better chance of benefiting a larger size that allows them to withstand garden pests. Gardeners can also make their own plastic foil or old plastic milk pitchers. In all cases, it is necessary to install a hot closure just above the ground to allow some air circulation, otherwise the temperature inside could be extremely hot and the plant could be cooked or choke due to lack of adequate circulation. In this case, hot closures are placed above the soil to stimulate it to warm up about a week before planting, and once the seedlings are set upE, the hot caps can be reinstalled until the seedlings are larger, or until the weather is more favorable. The hot cap can also alleviate the transition from the greenhouse to the outside world in the case of particularly fragile plants, allowing more temperature control in the outside world.

In the gardens where pests tend to be common, it is good to stack the hot caps firmly so that they cannot be released by wandering deer, rabbits and other visitors such as cats. The hot cap may also act as a discouraging means, as the collection of these facilities makes it difficult to navigate in the garden, and it is less pleasant to go through refreshments. Be used to make the garden more inhospitable for undesirable guests.

Using a hot closure does not prevent plants from being tired if the temperature suddenly fails. The best way to quickly and cheaply prevent frost damage is simply to throw away someOld bedroom above fine plants early in the evening. Great leaves capture residual heat from day and act as a layer of insulation to reduce the risk of frost damage. There are also other frost prevention products, for those who find a leaf that lacks elegance or style.
