I really need some intense heat for tall plans like tomatos and corn. Wall O' Waters are too heavy and I need a lot. Have any suggestions, anyone? Thank You
Claire

Can you find any white plastic in stiff sheets? A friend of mine collects campaign signs after an election and clears off the printing, then uses them around the beds to extend the season of her winter garden in a zone 7 location. The plastic reflects and concentrates the sun's heat toward the plants. Might work for you if the plastic was on the east side of the plants to reflect the afternoon sun.
