That is interesting Bev. What purpose would the plastic liner serve in the container, I wonder?

I've heard of using double pots with an insulated barrier. Also heard of using a styro liner to insulate the roots in a container.
I do believe container plants have a more vulnerable root system susceptible to hard freezes.

Tell me, do you find the shade cloth works as well as frost cloth? I have only limited experience with frost cloth but am finding it works better than plain old sheets.

Even in different zones, lessons can be learned if I will only listen. Thanks for the input.
