Cold Frame Plan: Building with Polycarbonate

Chuck shows you his cold frame plan and build using polycarbonate panels. These simple devices can be used to grow earlier in spring, later in the fall, and even let you harvest fresh veggies in the winter! Cold frame plans can be very simple or more involved depending on your needs, your budget or the materials you have available.
