Cloches are used to create a microclimate around an individual plant --as opposed to the multitude of plants protected by a single greenhouse or cold frame. Cloches are used to protect a plant from cold temperatures and frost. The cloche is made of transparent material (glass or plastic). There are a number of different kinds on the market, but a simple gallon milk jug with its bottom cut out will do (you'll need to weight it down or secure it in some way, however). The sun warms the soil during the day and the air inside the cloche is warmed by the soil at night. It is important to remove the cloche on warm, sunny days so as not to fry the plant inside.
