If warm spring weather can’t
come soon enough for you and your green thumb,
you can give your plants an early start by using
plant shelters. If you're prepared to offer extra pro
tection from the cold, it's possible to reap a sum
mer vegetable harvest or have lovely flower blooms
several weeks ahead of schedule.
The easiest plant shelters can be made with
materials you already have. Old sheets, tablecloths,
pillowcases and other fabric can be draped over
plants to protect them from a light frost. Collect
Medicare Covers Erectile Dysfunction Correction
Nothing impacts the sexual health
and well-being of a couple and their
intimate relationship more than
Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Therefore,
any treatment used must address the
needs of both people involved.
The male erection involves a very
complicated interaction of many of the
body’s systems. The natural erection
process can be interrupted by many
underlying disease states and/or condi
tions. The most common underlying
causes of Erectile Dysfunction are:
Diabetes, Hypertension, Vascular
Disease, and Drug Interaction. All
men who have ED are strongly urged
to consult a physician before continu
ing with treatment.
For many, the first-choice of treat
ment for ED should be Vacuum
Therapy. Unlike drugs, pills, or injec
tions, Vacuum Therapy is non-invasive
and has no side-effects. Negative pres
sure mimics the body’s natural func
tion and produces an almost instant
erection.
This uniquely simple technology
uses the body’s blood to create erection
much in the way the natural process
works and maintains erection for sexu
al intercourse. The big difference is
with Vacuum Therapy you control
erection - with drug treatments the
drug contrdls erection - not you.
In fact, Vacuum Therapy is pre
dictable, reliable, and gives sponta
neous results other treatments simply

gallon milk jugs and two-liter bottles, cut off the
bottoms, and place them over small plants.
Remove the cap during the day to allow for venti

container will help protea your plants—boxes,
clay flowerpots, even ' hats’’ made from folded
newspaper. Place the containers on the plants
before dusk to keep in the day’s heat, and remove
them at least partially in the morning.
For more permanent proteaion, consider using

cannot claim. You and your partner
will be able to control when, where
and how long you want to be intimate.
Vacuum Therapy is also the only
treatment that provides a significant
therapeutic benefit while also creating
functional erection. Many men actual
ly regain spontaneous erections as vas
cular health is improved using Vacuum
Therapy. Countless couples have
brought the joy back into their lives
with the ED Vacuum Therapy systems.

and simple to build and can be removed and re-used. The simplest ver
sion uses thin PVC pipe or sturdy wire curved into a set of arches over
the garden bed. Drape clear plastic sheeting over these arches, and
secure it with rocks, bricks or plastic clips.
Coverings made of plastic and cloth offer some proteaion against
light frosts, but for colder temperatures you’ll need a more reliable form
of shelter. Cold frames can be used to grow plants in all but the coldest
weather—sometimes all year, depending on the climate. You can pur
chase them from catalogs, or build a bottomless box out of inexpensive
plywood or scrap lumber and cover it with a piece of clear Plexiglas or
a discarded window. Alternatively, use the top cover supported on a
"box" made from hay bales. On warm days, prop up the cover or move
it partially aside to allow for ventilation. Use this miniature greenhouse
to grow cool season vegetables or to sprout seedlings.
If your cold frames, cloches or other plant shelters need additional
heating, capture the warmth of the sun in containers of water. Paint
milk jugs black, and place them in the sun so they 7 can warm up dur
ing the day, then put them around your plants at night. The jugs of
water will radiate heat evenly overnight, keeping your sheltered plants
even happier. A product called "Wall O’ Water" is another way to take
advantage of solar heating. Sold in garden stores and catalogs, these are
plastic tubes with compartments that, when filled with water, stand up
around your plants to keep them warm.
Inexpensive plant shelters can be a great way to get a jump on the
growing season, or even to have edible produce in the winter months if
your climate allows it.
