Question about over wintering iris in the garage
Comments (11)If your garage doesn't freeze or freeze for very long then pot them up and only water them 3 or 4 times during the winter. If the garage is going to have them freeze solid then your better off just stuffing them in a spot in the ground near the foundation. Brown bagging them might work. Maybe mist them once and a while. Don't use damp sawdust or peat. They will rot. While they are dormant you have to be careful not to drown them. They really need very little water especially while they are sleeping. Can't let them dry into iris leather either. That's why I say potting them up might be your best bet. I've kept a few in pots in a cold room in the house. Stuck them in the window and pretty much ignored them for most of the winter. Pretty much treated them like a real cactus. Tried to keep them as dormant as possible. Watered very sparingly. I'd have to use dynamite to plant anything in March here. Did kick them out at the end of April or beginning of May when the snow is done and I can move the soil. Got a little sunburn and windburn but survived....See MoreIce in garage on mild winter days
Comments (1)Hard to see from picture, but my guess would be warm moist air leaking from inside the home. Get up there on a ladder at night with garage lights off and inside lights on. See if you can see any cracks at all....See MorePouring cement slab for garage in winter.
Comments (8)Concrete can certainly be poured in cold weather! If it couldn't, most concrete construction would come to a screeching halt in winter and that just does not happen. In fact, it is more desirable to pour in colder as opposed to hotter weather as the curing process slows in cooler weather and the concrete develops better strength. The concrete industry has done extensive studies on cold weather curing and there are various methods and materials that should be utilized to that end. Most concrete contractors in cold winter climates are very familiar with these additives and processes. Just make sure your guys do. btw, cement is a just an ingredient in concrete and is a very fine powder......your slab will be a concrete slab, not a cement one :-)) Cold weather concreting....See MoreStoring Old kitchen cabinets in the garage during winter time?
Comments (4)Water also goes through cardboard. :) To be safe, lay down some plastic sheeting on top of the cardboard. And if you can drape some moving blankets or tarps (or even old sheets or towels) over the tops, that’d be good, too. If the garage door — or even just the bottom sweep/seal — is wet when you put it up and down, and the cabinets are underneath it, you’ll end up with water stained cabinets. And chances are that, because you live in Canada...and it’s winter, in addition to the normal grime that builds up on garage doors, the water will contain road salt/de-icing agents. SO, in order to get as much for them as possible, make sure you not only clean them within an inch of their lives (even touching things up if necessary) but that you protect them from garage life....See More- 20 years ago
