		<description>Thanks for the idea Mark. Once the weather dropped into the 40s here, they didn&#039;t survive at all. I kind of figured as much. Just wonder how much the coverings helped out.</description>

		<description>Nice going there Mike. We used the cut off 2lt and 5lt soda and juice bottles as cloches for our smaller plants last winter and they worked very well (&lt;a href=&quot;http://sfgsa.co.za/the-garden-blog/growing-vegetables-in-winter/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://sfgsa.co.za/the-garden-blog/growing-vege...&lt;/a&gt;). We don&#039;t get quite as cold as you guys do obviously , just enough frost to kill the plants ;-)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You should definately have holes in the top of the cloches for the plants to be able to get air through, this also helps with the condensation problem. You do want to keep a bit of condensation though as it will eventually run down the sides and help keep the soil moist. I also helps to keep a bit of humidity in the the cloche (winter air is usually very dry).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the bigger plants in pots, you can also try building a small &quot;tomato frame&quot; out of thin bamboo poles and wire and then wrapping it with plastic sheeting.</description>

		<description>Really? That sounds like something that I just might try. It won&#039;t get too big for the soda bottle? Thanks for the idea.</description>
