Cannot believe it. I have finally found  my old blog. I last posted in 2011 but hope that I can make this work as a travel log for 2016.

BUT FIRST A REQUEST FOR HELP

The plastic object in background is a double walled plastic water holder. It has lots of 3-4 cm tubes you fill with water and it not only keeps frost off tomato seedlings it also moderates the  micro climate and helps them grow fast fast fast. Hence red tomatoes in Beaufort before xmas.

We have three. they are at least a decade old. They are beginning to deteriorate. We have done heaps of searching and unfortunately have never seen any to buy and are looking for a substitute. 

Any ideas?
