Imperial Masterpiece
Today's project is putting my outdoor trees to bed for the winter.
I'm in a very old house, and half of the floor space is additions built on over time, including punch-outs for a closet on one corner and the laundry room on another. I thought I'd squeeze My trees under one of those, but the closet doesn't have the vertical space, and I realized the drier vent under the laundry could be problematic.
So I'm putting them on the back porch, which faces south and has a roof over it and a light wall on one side so it's only ope to the south and east.
I'm stopped dead, though, trying to decide if I should just set the pots on the concrete against the house wall, and hope that's plenty enough of thermal battery, or if concrete will sap more heat than deliver, so set them on a pallet.
It needs to work because I stole the spot from my dog, and I'll feel bad about it if it was for nothing.
What are your folks' thoughts?
That window is the bathroom, BTW. It gets opened for hot showers, but I figured that's allot better than the drier vent.
