I want to propogate some 'Photinia fraseri' (red robin) and it says
that i need a cold frame.

I don't have room for one, but I have a window box with one of those
water reservoirs underneath which I have found very good for
propogating some cuttings before.

My question is; Is there any neat trick for getting some plastic
sheeting to sit over the window box please, to to create my own mini
cold frame?
Also should I make holes in the plastic for ventilation or not? Thanks
for advice.


What size is the box?

Thanks, the size is 50cm long, 21 cm wide and 16 cm high. (my tape
measure doesnt have inches on it).
