What's the mesh screen for ? Have bunny's? It alrdy looks like they are in a chicken run. I assume the one piece it to block the sun from hitting the black?? But don't see on one next to it. Same with the straw to help keep rootzone cooler?
You are correct, the mesh ring is to protect from critters. Everything in my yard gets eaten if not protected this way as I’m on the desert in the middle of a drought. The silver insulation piece is to protect from the sun hitting the pot once it is past the edge of my shade cloth. And yes the light was to keep them from flowering early as they’ve been outdoors since March, I’m not using it anymore.
