I ordered this to cover my new tomato plants in the spring, but I tested it on a smaller plant, to see how it works. It works well. It seems to retain the heat. I left it on during the day, and covered it with another frost blanket at night, to make sure the plant was protected. That seemed to work, as the plant survived several nights of that. It was easy to put together, although a bit time consuming. It seems to be sturdy enough, but I didn't encounter wind during my test. Next year, when I use it for my early tomatoes, I will weigh it down.
