| Good info. That is more or less how I did it this winter. Except I used bales of straw instead of wooden frames and I spread a layer of straw over the plastic covering. I'm hoping for better results than I've had with other methods. What is your estimated success rate doing this? |

| Thank you, Catherine. Lovely site you have, with much interesting content. We block our perennials out on the ground, cover with a permeable fabric, and that is it until spring. Never a problem with rodents - yet, at any rate, and it has been over 15 years of this. brian |

| Hi Josh, The straw bales should work out great, because of the insulation. I chose the wood frames because they needed to be permanant frames. I overwintered in them and sold out of them. Just make sure you bait, especially with straw frames. |
