#Walls of Water
6 messages in this thread
I'm from Canada and staying in the Delray area of Florida for another six
days. Several months ago there was a discussion in the Goodearth Forum
describing a product known as walls of water. It involves plastic
containers of water used to store heat from the sun and warm the
surrounding earth overnight enabling yhou to put out seedlings much earlier
in the season. Does anyone know of a source for this product in the Delray
Florida area? In the alternative does anyone know of an outfit handing same
in the immediate vicinity of Highway I 75 in Georgia, Tennesee, Kentucky or
Ohio. That will be my route home to the Land of Cold, Snow and thank Heaven
socialized medecine. Henry

Hello Steve,
The Wall o' Water is a neat device that allows gardeners in cold areas to
plant out seedlings early. It is a teepee of plastic that has channels in
the walls that are to be filled with water. You place the teepees around
seedlings and fill the channels with water. The water absorbs heat during
the day and as the temperatures drop at night, the stored heat is slowly
released, keeping the seedlings and soil warm. Haven't used them myself,
but its an interesting idea! Alison
Alison,
What a cool idea! (no pun intended. honest)
Where does one send for information, or to order one? How much?
