Ray: In the Inntainer guide, you talk about covering the top of the 'Tainer with aluminum foil, which would also "reflect light up to the underside of the leaves." What's the benefit of this? And have you tried this outdoors?
I live in a very hot, sunny climate, where we don't get any summer rain. I'm thinking that wrapping the top and sides of the 'Tainer would have a couple of benefits:
1. Protect the plastic from UV rays, giving it a longer lifespan.
2. Keep the soil cooler.
3. Prevent any algae from growing in the reservoir.
4. Reflect sunlight up to the bottom sides of the leaves.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
