Thanks. So its basically just plastic filled with water that surrounds the
plant base? Interesting.

Really more than interesting. It can allow you to get plants in the
ground 3-4 weeks early. The 3 gallons of water acts as a heat sink and
prevents frost. There are 18 tubes that are 18 inches long and maybe an
inch and a quarter in diameter. The weight of the water makes they
slant inward like Teepees. Of course, this year the issue is more I
shoulda planted them on hills because of all the rain.
