Bon courage Mike :lol: ....don t worry, you ll get heat before us :cry: , if that heat can come one day :roll: ... we ve got less snow than last year here, but a lot of f.... cold air. Never seen that before, at least 22 nights Under -20c or -4F... It s the coldest winter we ve never seen here ... Ben

Beny

Yeah, and the hydro-electricity is cheap once the infrastruture is done. The water and gravity does the rest

Ben

Beny

We pay around 7.5 cents for 1 kw/h in Québec, i think it s becasuse we have lot of hydro-electricity.....

You re right Mike, i saw that last summer when i went to Long Branch, NJ, i stopped at the fuel station and started to pump gas to my car and the guy looked at me and said nothing. While pumping gas, i saw the note on the pump that im not allowed to serve myself :shock: ...a little oups i said :lol:...

Beny

Sure the box method is the best for now, but i try to find another way to protect bigger palms. With the wrapping, i think it s the way to do that! I used heattape, it warm to about 50c, maybe it burn some leaves who touched directly the cable. I try the LED lights cordon (for Christmas decoration),...

Beny

I sprayed the palms with fongicide/bactericide before, there s a space of about 1-2 inches between the palm and the protection. Thats allow the moisture to go to the ground. And i made an opening on the side and the top of the protection to allow some ventilation. And for now it work not to bad :win...

Beny

I try this winter the mummywrapping protection on 3 Butia, 1 at my home and 2 at my customers north of Montréal. I verified few time the one i have at my home, and its looking alive with a few burn tips at the top of the palm ( i opened the top for evacuating the excess of heat, thats what cause the...

Wow..nice videos, thx for sharing that

....welcome aboard...

Ben

Beny

I think we just have to do the same thing as we re doing for an house. In order : palm tree-heatcable-vapor barier or the insulation for hotwater reservoir(that contain an vapor barier)-pinkpanther fiberglass insulation (2-3 inches) then tarp. With that we should be in business

...

Ben

Beny

FYI, the temperature Under 4 inches of pinkpanther insulation (fiberglass) is 10c more than the outside temperature. I placed the probe between the 4 inches insulation and the hotwater reservoir insulation and i get 10c gain. The heatcable is located between the trunck and the hotwater reservoir ins...
