. I'm thinking if I put it on the deck then maybe I
can rig some lights underneath which when it got cold I can turn them
on and maybe use different
watts to generate a little heat to protect my trees. Has anyone done
this sort of silly thing and will it
work? Any other insight into how to do a cold frame would be greatly
appreciated, since this is my
first winter with my bonsai outside. The bonsai I have are all shohin
and they are junipers, black pine,
oak, and maples. Thanks for your help!

I wouldn't think you would need lights for heat in Virginia for the
trees you've described, but someone down there would know better.
