As promised, here is a second video on winter gardening using cold frames. For those with less carpentry knowledge, these are smaller and simpler cold frames — and even better, they used recycled or discarded materials. These may not be as warm or air-tight as the ones in the previous video, so they are probably best for more moderate climates.
For those with limited or no building ability (like me!) there are also many cold frame kits
available on the market today, with just a little assembly required.
