easy covering for cuttings bed

11 years ago

I have a bed for cuttings which consists of four roofing sheets screwed on posts. I need an easy covering for it to maintain moisture. What is an easy way to construct it? I should have access to the cuttings.
What is the best light level for cuttings shade, semi-shade or deep shade?

If you have a large area like that, then probably some transparent drop cloth would be able to be draped over your building posts, and create the humidity needed.

I have got a cover now. Simple. If the raised bed is not filled to the top, you can simply lay a sheet of see-through roofing material, you can get old sheets for free. And put something on the top that it does not fly away.
