stick an old 15 tog duvet on top, it should help keep any warmth in.joolz68 wrote:It was -2.7 in my greenhouse last night
On my north facing side of the greenhouse i got bags of leaves stacked up to keep jack frost out, its helping to keep temps up during the night, lowest temp so far is 2.2c.
So collect some leafs and use them to protect your plants and after winter's over you have leaf litter to use in the garden as a mulch or potting mix and its free

I'm thinking of going for new year, (weather permitting), and do a new years flower count, they say they get over 200 species in flower like (aloes, protea's, Acacia , Hakea and Grevillea). they think they are in the southern hemisphere summer.flounder wrote:Really must go there sometime
