"It lets the heat and light in and it's also trapping moisture so its a warm humid condition." Said Betty Sims.
She also suggested using recycled material for compost to make your garden even more environmental friendly.
"Once you get into the framework you want to be on science about the world around us and how we use things." Said Betty Sims.
