Here is the second video of our Arizona raised garden bed frost cloth frame. This video shows our larger raised garden bed and how easy it can be to make a frame for hanging frost cloth during the cold winter months here in Arizona.

A video showing our raised garden bed frost cloth frame for our Arizona winter garden. Very simple and easy to make.

Frost cloth frame is now complete

I have completed the frost cloth frame for both of our raised garden beds. I made a video and will post it here soon.

Frost cloth time - The frost and freezing weather is here now!

The past few days have been really cold here in the valley. Just in time for the frost, I purchased my frost blankets for the raised gareden beds. I found mine at Lowes.

Next step for me is to design a system that will allow me to hang this frost cloth over the plants with ease. It takes the fun out of things when hanging the frost cloth takes hours, lol

I will post some of my trial ideas for the frost cloth frame soon.

One other thing to say, remember that you can always use a bed sheet to cover plants and smaller trees if needed. I went to the Goodwill and purchased a few king size bed sheets for some of our more frost tender  plants.
