Otherwise, everything is seeded directly and thinned as necessary--mostly loose leaf lettuce.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-63704767571434867162009-03-25T09:59:00.000-04:002009-03-25T09:59:00.000-04:00That's good news.

I'd like to get some readings from my thermometer to find out exactly how much it helps warm the bed. Then I'll be able to better time when I can move the plants outside and extend the season even more.

Not sure if it works, I don't have a digital therm. or anything in there. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine burries black boards down into the soil so that about half is below the soil half is above. Those work to raise the temps of his soil much earlier in the spring. So I bet you rock or bucket would work wonderfully.Chiot's Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086153621579437021noreply@blogger.com
