0 2009-11-03T14:24:46-05:00 false I've spent all morning working on the coldframe and it's all but done. My tractor died on me just as I was making the last haul of bricks and straw across two acres. After spending three hours in a downward dog position I'm not quite ready to transport everything via wheelbarrow. And that's fine. The weather will get dangerously close to the freezing mark tonight but as long as I can keep the box above 32F everything should survive. Besides, I need to cover my strawberries and onions and that's even more yoga I'm not quite ready for. Bubble wrap will be added in the near future. Photos: Aligned box with sun's path and removed plantings. Stapled old shower curtain to create insulation. Mixed in and topped with worm castings, organic humus, and composted manure. Stacked bricks inside and outside to protect from critters and create heat gain at night. Moved babies to warm spot. They're currently pouting but will be ecstatic once they get a dose of good soil. Surrounded box with straw bales for insulation. 1 false 70468 false false false Entry 2009-11-03T01:00:00-05:00 DMY 86326 Public 2009-11-03T14:24:47-05:00 5903 61 F
