A cold frame question
I have an old tent frame about 18 feet by 8 feet covered in plastic. I try
to keep the doors closed during cool weather and open should the sun appear. The doors have been closed for several days and I notice much condensation on the walls and roof. I am concerned that the moisture could cause the tomato plants to 'rot' or get the blight or something?? Is this a valid concern and should I open the doors to allow the moisture to leave (provide flow through air). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Gary To reply please remove...yoursocks... |
