Frost Kit
Treat your seedlings from our farm to a little TLC this winter with an easy low tunnel kit.
We use floating row cover over our Fall-planted seedlings here at the farm to provide a little microclimate paradise all winter-long. Your kit consists of one sheet of 10’x6’ of floating row cover, 3 wire hoops, and 6 sandbags (unfilled). Fits a 6’x4’ raised bed.

How It Works:
I use floating row cover over my Fall-planted seedlings here at the farm when night-time temperatures start dipping into the 30’s (You could cover them in the 40’s but I try to push lazy gardening philosophy to its limit). If daytime temperatures climb into the 50’s, I take them back off. If temperatures are consistently below 50 all day and night, that’s the ticket for less labor! The only reason I would need to take them off if it’s below 50 degrees is if it’s going to snow. The low hoops can’t withstand a snow load, plus snow is the natural version of this low tunnel system. If only it still snowed in NETN like it used to, right?
Floating row cover can also be used to protect new seedlings from wind, since the transpirational loss can be devastating for newly transplanted seedlings.
