Abstract
A plant protective cover system for protecting and insulating plants from cold weather. The plant protective cover system includes a ground sheet having a plurality of plant holes therethrough. An inner cover with an open bottom is rested on the ground sheet so that the open bottom of the inner cover is positioned over the plant holes of the ground sheet. An outer cover with has an open bottom is rested on the upper face of the ground sheet with the inner cover is upwardly extended into the open bottom of the outer cover so that the inner cover is enclosed by the outer cover. The inner cover is spaced apart from the outer cover to define an insulating space therebetween.
Claims9
A plant protective cover system, comprising:
- a ground sheet having a plurality of plant holes therethrough;
- an inner cover having an open bottom, said inner cover being rested on said ground sheet such that said open bottom of said inner cover is positioned over said plant holes of said ground sheet;
- an outer cover having an open bottom, said outer cover being rested on said upper face of said ground sheet such that said inner cover is upwardly extending into said open bottom of said outer cover and enclosed by said outer cover;
- and
- said inner cover being spaced apart from said outer cover to define an insulating space therebetween.
A plant protective cover system, comprising:
- a generally rectangular flexible ground sheet having generally rectangular upper and lower faces, a pair of substantially parallel ends and a pair of substantially parallel sides extending perpendicular to said ends of said ground sheet;
- said ground sheet being adapted for resting on a ground surface;
- said ground sheet having a plurality of generally circular plant holes extending therethrough between said upper and lower faces of said ground sheet;
- said plant holes of said ground sheet being arranged in a row extending between said ends of said ground sheet and substantially parallel to said sides of said ground sheet;
- an inner cover having a generally triangular transverse cross section, a generally rectangular open bottom, a pair of generally triangular opposite end panels, and a pair of generally rectangular side panels connected together along an upper vertex edge of said inner cover extending between said end panels of said inner cover;
- said inner cover comprising a translucent material;
- said inner cover being rested on said upper face of said ground sheet such that said open bottom of said inner cover is positioned over said row of plant holes of said ground sheet;
- said sides panels of said inner cover each having an inwardly extending elongate inner flange adjacent said open bottom of said inner cover, said inner flanges of said inner cover being extended between said end panels of said inner cover such that said inner flanges of said inner cover rest on said upper face of said ground sheet;
- each of said inner flanges of said inner cover each having a plurality of spaced apart securing holes therethrough;
- each of said securing holes of said inner flanges of said inner cover having an elongate stake downwardly extended therethrough and through said ground sheet;
- an outer cover having a generally inverted-U-shaped transverse cross section, a generally rectangular open bottom, a pair of opposite end walls, a spaced apart pair of substantially parallel side walls extending between said end walls of said outer cover, and an arcuate upper wall extending between said end walls of said outer cover and connecting said side walls of said outer cover together;
- said outer cover comprising a translucent material;
- said outer cover being rested on said upper face of said ground sheet such that said inner cover is upwardly extending into said open bottom of said outer cover and enclosed by said outer cover;
- each end panel of said inner cover being positioned towards an associated end wall of said outer cover, said side panels of said inner cover being extended substantially parallel to said side walls of said outer cover;
- said inner cover being spaced apart from said outer cover such that said end panels of said inner cover are spaced apart said end walls of said outer cover, said side panels of said inner cover are spaced apart said side walls of said outer cover, and said upper vertex edge is spaced apart from said arcuate upper wall of said outer cover;
- said inner and outer covers defining an insulating space therebetween;
- said sides walls of said outer cover each having an inwardly extending elongate side flange adjacent said open bottom of said outer cover, said side flanges of said outer cover being extended between said end walls of said outer cover such that said side flanges of said outer cover rest on said upper face of said ground sheet;
- each of said side flanges of said outer cover each having a plurality of spaced apart securing holes therethrough;
- each of said securing holes of said side flanges of said outer cover having an elongate stake downwardly extended therethrough and through said ground sheet;
- an insulating material being provided in said insulating space and resting on an adjacent portion of said ground sheet beneath said insulating space;
- and
- said inner cover having an upper portion upwardly extending from an upper surface of said insulating material.
