they say potash...
bubblewrap as a tent worked for me in se mich .
i also used a hp sodium lamp
i used a old pool "solar" blanket,laid accross ropes,,
and i burned some charcoal mixed manure and straw, and let it slow burn. this stinks but works.
i beat some bad frost...
i was near the detroit river.
lots of night dew...
i have even wired up a heat pump,
aka window air conditioner.
i connected it to flexduct with slits in it.
capped on the outer end.

now i live in se tenn....
late frost..
warm sun..
