What'd the old-timers do ?

Here on the Atlantic Coast of Canada, I'd recommend a cover. We usually
get a lot of freeze/thaw cycles and the prevaling winds make us the
tailpipe of North America. That is...most of our pollution originates
in central Canada or the US.

Don,

Is poly wrap OK to get through a first season in your area, later building a
cover since no time to do it now for me, or is the venting such a problem
that one would be better off leaving uncovered ?

How have you observed venting to be adequately done or is it considered
inconsequential in your area ?

Cordially,
Courtney
