My husband and I volunteer with the native hearth division. I seen that the medical workforce was utilizing heat-reflective emergency blankets to maintain victims heat. I snagged an empty package deal and browse, “Emergency Blanket: 52 by 82 inches; reusable; can offset hypothermic reactions; displays solar; retains as much as 90 % of physique warmth; for emergencies, tenting, sporting occasions and extra!”
Wow — my head was spinning with concepts! I’ve heard that shiny, reflective mulches confuse some plant pests. Different gardeners swear reflective mild boosts yields as a result of it will increase the quantity of daylight that reaches the vegetation. I now use these Mylar blankets as a backdrop for my vegetation throughout cloudy winter durations, and as a canopy over my vegetation on freezing nights. What a distinction! My vegetation don’t freeze anymore, and I even assume they give the impression of being greener.
I plan on utilizing these emergency blankets subsequent gardening season, too, by hanging them behind my trellises to mirror extra mild onto my vertical vegetation.
