Frost Cloth (DeWitt N-sulate™)
Use N–sulate® Frost Cloth just $1.20 per running ft. (12
ft. wide) Because plastic is a danger once the sun comes out,
it is better to use fabric to cover plants. It would be a
good idea to purchase some N–sulate® Frost Cloth material
from Teas to cover up plants outside. This material is inexpensive
and designed to breathe and insulate. If you can bring the
material to the ground and weight it down you can improve
the temperature underneath by a couple of degrees. Stock #332939
