Hey Who ever is reading this,

Do you think I need to shade plants I bring into the gh for couple days?

I mean to harden them....Is two layers of 4ml enough to shade them?

or how about cloudy days?...

thanks

Looks killer, Ken.

One time I tried lining my beds with hay and it turned disasterous. The hay got wet from watering and created mold issues. The fucking shit was everywhere. Be careful of that. Hay can also have seeds in it and "weeds and stuff" may spout in your beds. Straw may be a better option but I still would avoid getting it overly wet. Poor ventilation and excess water are bad news.

I agree but you could use a blend of different sized bark mulch you want an even distribution of sizes from about an inch or so down to a dust almost. This will help hold and keep proper moisture levels as well as insulate the bedding for your plants. In effect two birds with one stone. After all its how mother nature works in the forrest. ;)

the second layer of plastic sheathing looks to have reduced the underwall infiltration. It should also provide a way out for the cold between the plastic sheets. i think a bit of insulation on the interior footing will help even more. i have severe mold when using hay in the winter. if you recieve enough sun infiltration a crushed stone floor on the paths will hold some heat in. did you put the drop ceiling in? if so are you monitering the highs in the dead space above?

Crushed Rock! That would be great. and it would hold some heat..
not sure I wanna spend the money...or do the work though o_O

yeah, I draped plastic over some ceiling joists...It helped a hella lot.

No, why would I monitor the space above?o_O

the dead space acts as a big insulator, but the plastic transfers the heat too quickly. you can end up giving some of the heat back to the outside during the heat/daylight hours. sometimes, (so much of this is climate specific). in short cold cycles it is worth exchanging this heat to rock bed, or soil or water. for night/cold cycle. i have pulled through 4 inch ads in soil and in rock pathways. in one house i transferred the excess eave temps into recycled hydronic floorboard heat exchangers. all part of the madscientist creed.

i meant to add to the above; now that the goodies are in beware the mouse invasion.
