I've just wrapped a bunch of tomato cages with 3.5mil plastic sheeting to
create green tepees for my tomatoes. The sheeting is opaque not clear
because that's all that Home Depot had (it's sold in the paint department
not the garden department). Is there special greenhouse plastic sheeting
that would work significantly better or is the drop cloth plastic good
enough? I'm only going to be using the green tepees until the end of May.


They allow for ventilation? You may want to put clear plastic on the
soil to warm it up as well.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
