How can solar power help your garden

One easy way to extend your gardening season is to use mirrors, with some of my seedling beds I Put a mirror behind the bed facing SOUTH this reflects the sun and heat back so the sun is shining from both North and South.

I have been able to grow tomato seedlings in September this way, one thing to watch for is burning if you use a plastic cover over your growbox or seedling bed make sure to open it on hot days with full sun.

I use the Mittleider method taught by the Sustainable gardening Non-Profit Food for Everyone Foundation.

Without the sun no plant will live, thats the ultimate in Solar Power
