Bubblewrapping the tropicals
A couple of our heat loving plants are suffering a bit in the cold. I was thinking about what to do about it, having moved them several times into warmer microclimates to no avail.
I thought about buying some greenhouse plastic, then remembered that I had a heap of bubblewrap salvaged from an art gallery that was going to dump it.
The result...personal greenhouses for the affected plants - two Tamarind and two Moringa trees.
Just add a couple of garden stakes for a frame and wrap the plant, pot and all, in bubblewrap.
I made sure the plants weren't touching the plastic and that there was a small gap at the top to help reduce condensation.
I reckon I'm on a winter winner!

I'm going to look at doing this with just some cheap painter's plastic, but to keep deer off my berries. Wish I'd have seen this post a couple months ago!
Anything will work, I just had lots of bubblewrap spare. I reckon for deer, make sure it's kind of loose so it makes noise in the wind and if they touch it
