Put about 20 to 50 --1 gallon milk or tea jugs filled with water in the hoop house on the ground along the edge.. The water will keep the temp down near the plants and keep them warmer at night! this works great and can also be used to water the plants if you have extra ones! Five gallon buckets work great too but the clear plastic gallons let the light through! .Whoite containers will reflect the light. another little trick is put perlite on the ground to reflect light up under the leaves! Leave some of the caps off the gallons to give extra moisture to the new plants!
