USING COVERS Frost Protection Fabric You might also use frost protection fabric, which is a woven, breathable fabric that can give you a temperature boost of between 4 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s lightweight, so you need to secure the edges, and its breathability means you can use it for longer periods, as it will not create damp conditions inside the bed (remember, damp brings slugs, mildews and other nasties). Cloche Individual plants can be protected by cloches, which are like mini-greenhouses. In the nineteenth century, beautiful glass cloches shaped like bells (‘cloche’ is the French word for ‘bell’) were used; they’re now much sought after by collectors. Nowadays, cloches are usually plastic, but they work just the same way, placed over individual plants. If they get too hot, you can easily remove them during the day and put them back over the plant at night. Cold Frame Cold frames will cover several rows of vegetables. A cold frame is basically a large box with a glass or plastic roof. You can buy cold frames ready-made, or buy a kit, but you can also use recycled windows with some reclaimed wood to make your own. They probably can’t cope with winters in the Yukon, but in more temperate climates, a cold frame might let you grow salad leaves all the way through the winter.
