Just some ideas on how to protect or enhance or inhibit plant
growth. In a way your home can save energy using similar info.

Some good basic information there but as is so often the case the
author fails the international community by not considering which
hemisphere the garden is in.

Having a bad day?

There are cases where hemisphere is not important but not this time. It's a
fairly fundamental error in the context of microclimates. Unless you
already understand what is going on and are used to making the switch the
article in question is going to be misleading. Either the author doesn't
get this herself or she is being parochial and only addressing the northern
hemisphere.
