You can use burlap, old blankets or frost cloth; frost cloth and thicker fabric provide better insulation to keep the heat trapped around the plant. The cloth should be large enough to completely cover the sides and leave an extra 6 to 12 inches extending on the ground. Place rocks or bricks on the bottom of the cloth to hold it in place. Lay these on the excess length of fabric, using as many weights as needed to prevent air from flowing into or out of the cover. Remove the cover the following day when the temperature reaches at least 50 degrees
