What I meant was a big piece of soft plastic sheet placed like what you showed earlier:laugh:.
The way you put the hard plastic (on top of the yellow container), does it generate heat under sun? I worry it will be too hot and no air circulation in there, algae will be the next problem. I did put a glass sheet on top of one of my VFT pot, but I leave an opening to allow air circulation.

If you see it properly. I didnt cover the contrainer tightly. I use a big size of cork to support the hard plastic. Gap between tray and hard plastic is around 3cm. :smile:

TS, since you are using big size of soft plastic sheet. It is easily blow up by wind. May I know how you overcome that problem.

Casey, my whole container is full of pots, I just insert the plastic sheet in between inner side of the container and the pots, the pots will pressed tightly against the plastic sheet and the container. I don't face any problems with strong wind.
