Or you can add a few ounces of manure to the water in the plastic jugs.
The manure dyes the water brown to absorb heat better and you will have
well aged manure tea in the spring for fertilizer. I grown lettuce and
cabbage all winter in temperatures down to 10F with no other protection
other then being surrounded by milk jugs. Inside a cold frame, you could
go much lower.


How big are those milk jugs?


One gallon. A square of eight around each plant. In the spring after the
lettuce dosen't need any help I move them around tomato and pepper
transplants to protect them from late cold snaps, like a Wal-o-water.
Later, just dump the manure tea out as a plant food.
