as always, thanks for your time.
As planting season gets closer and closer I have been trying to plan things out as detailed as possible. As a result I have a few questions.
Grow tubes:
I plan on using the blue grow tubes. After doing some research it seems that it is recommended to not use grow tubes in the winter. It seems it has to do with moisture, which I understand, but I would think it would provide an nice added layer of protection from some possible cold, windy, snowy, Lake Erie winters.
Should I remove the grow tubes before winter comes? If so, should I remove them when the temps fall or when the snow falls?
I have also read that certain beetles love to gather inside the tubes. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? What should I do if I find beetles in my grow tubes?
Thanks again,
Jay
