Here’s a great way to protect your young plants from frost in late spring. These diy milk jug garden hot caps will get the job done for you.

The original Hot Kaps are wax paper tents, one only costs about 60 cents but it can add up if you need to protect a lot of plants. Also you can store away and reuse the homemade ones next year.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• milk jugs
• paper punch
• loop stakes
• used hanger wire (optional)
• dirt or soil

Use one hot cap per small plant, and make sure to secure it each one with the loop stakes and the dirt too.

Keep the milk jug lids, do not throw them away. On cold nights you can screw the lids on, however remember to remove the lids during the day to avoid any sun burn or mold.
