Gardeners use different types of 'Cloches' or covers for plants. There are floating row covers which are light polyester woven blankets that keep frost off plants and also protect them from insects. There are also domes made of waxed paper sold to protect plants - they are called hotkaps. One recent invention is called Wall'o'water and consists of a series of plastic tubes joined together which are filled with water. These allow gardeners to put out tender plants even before the danger of frost has passed and can add weeks to a growing season in cold areas.
