      Respect on all your good finds. As a French speaker I can confirm that for your future videos it is simply “klohsh” cloche is the word for “bell” in French. Like the kind that rings as well. Cloché means “clogged” as in a drain

    Another thing to get is the mesh laundry bags. They are a pretty large size. I use them over my blueberry and raspberry plants , Drape it over a frame of some sort (like a wood frame or a tomato cage) to protect your fruit from being eaten by the birds. Easy to pull up or off, doesn’t impede sunlight and works great

    For the bell cloches, I have used shish kabobs to anchor the jars down. The cloche has pre-drilled holes on the lip. I just push the skewers through those little holes, and the cloche will remain in place even during a windstorm. This has worked fine in my raised beds even during late February, here in Washington state. I should have fresh lettuce and spinach in another few weeks.

All come with shaker type tops, so do not require burning holes in plastic (yuck) & the cost is nothing from already used/discarded containers. The clothe covers are Awesome‼️.

    Brian, you are a man after my own heart! Last year I discovered those wire wastepaper baskets (at least, I think that's what they are!) like the ones you're showing in tip #5, and thought, "H'mm. For $1.25, these are a whole heap cheaper than buying pre-made poultry mesh cloches for anywhere from $17 to $30-something apiece, and a darned sight easier than trying to produce my own." *And* my local Dollar Tree had them in black, even last year (but that might vary from store to store?) As it happened, last night we were out and about and picked up five of those, in white. I may have to go back today and get some more, only in black. Last year we thought a few this year, a few more next year...and every year...until we have plenty of them to protect seedlings.
    We also picked up some of those cloches last gardening season, had the best of intentions to protect plants from early and late frosts; life interfered and the garden suffered and those cloches languished in the back seat of the car, and turned a yellow-y color. I suppose those aren't going to be much good for daytime use but should still keep plants a tad warmer on very chilly nights?
    Anyone else viewing and commenting: do you have input on this?

    • @sbffsbrarbrr
      @sbffsbrarbrr 10 місяців тому

      I love these baskets and have about 25. I was able to get them before the prices went up to $1.25.
      I would enjoy having the pretty cloches but you are right that the prices are just way out of line. The ones that I really like are in the $35 range so that's not going to happen 🥲. I would not worry about the color of the cloche. They may not be transparent with the yellow color but they will still let light in. Check them with a flashlight from the inside just to be sure. If light is coming out than light will be going in.

      @@leeluv96That's an idea! I'll have to ask himself whether he has any headlight lens restorer; I know he had some at one point. But I'm wondering about this, because headlight lens restorer is used to "grind" away the roughened surface of the lens which occurs during normal driving, all sorts of weather, and so on: it's on the surface. Because the cloches are so much thinner, and the color change may go all the way through, I'll have to experiment on one small area of just one cloche. Carefully.
      Thank you again! 😊

    Shower caps are probably cheaper, but another good thing to use is press and seal plastic wrap and then you don’t have to tape it. Thanks for all the good tips.

    As Brian commented to my milk jug cloche suggestion, that's a wintertime thing! When the weather warmed up, we took them off. We're zone 7b. Actually we had a late hard freeze in March, I had to quickly put them back on for a couple days. You can't leave them on permanently or the plants would get cooked. It's just for freeze protection.

    I use those little caged waste baskets to protect my plants from gophers. For some reason they like my yard more than my neighbors yard, so I dig a hole enough for it to fit in, fill with soil and fertilizer and put my plant in. Last year I wasn't able to plant my garden and at the end of summer when I was able to go out side, a gopher had tunneled up along the side of it, but didn't bite into the wire. I'm sure they could, but for some reason, they didn't. I've already bought some for this year's garden that I can't wait to start. I'm getting some cattle panels delivered this week so I can make some arches. I missed my garden so much.

      @@seanaames6855Tractor Supply delivered them to me. I signed up for their reward membership in the store, I think it's called Neighbors or something like that. Every three months they send you four vouchers, two are for free delivery and the other two are for free trailer rentals. It's one of the best reward programs I've signed up for and I'm signed up to many in a lot of different stores. I loved having that perk from there because I only have an SUV and I'd never be able to have gotten them. This year I'm setting them up.
