        Haven't looked at the video yet (don't think Mrs Shiney would appreciate being woken by it at 3.30 a.m. :heehee:) but the answer to the thread topic is:- Very easily at the moment. :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            It's interesting to show how ground frost can form , when the air temperature is +2 +3 °c . So although a bit above freezing it can catch your bedding plants out if you are two early . Also if you are storing plants outside it's best to raise them up from ground level as a safeguard against frost - this wont help if temp plummets to -6°c !

              Video watched and box ticked. :) I saw air frost on the way home yesterday hanging over fields, even though I had my camera with me I couldn't stop for a photo as the road was to busy. :doh:

              Liquid Soap vs Detergent in sprays etc - what does this count as?
