Can Styro Cooler Be Used As A Cold Frame?
I want to harden off all my vegetable seedlings a week or two before planting in the garden. My problem is that I don't care for the fact that I have to carry all of them in and out of the house each day. I have several styro coolers with lids that are just sitting in my basement. Would it be possible to bury these coolers in the ground and use them as cold frames to harden off my seedlings? I could remove the lids during nice days and then place the lids back on at night to protect them from any frost we might still get in my area of PA. Or perhaps instead of burying the coolers in the ground, I could just pack soil and sod around them. I dug a new garden this year had have a huge pile of sod in back of my shed that I would like to find some sort of use for. Does this sound like a reasonable idea to harden off my plants or would it not work at all? Thanks in advance for your advice Rich |

It has a framework with wire mesh shelves and a plastic tent over it. I have added wheels so I can move it out in the sun through the day or back under shelter if a frost is likely that night.
