[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question about garden mats

[Terry]

I am not the person who will give you the proper answer here, maybe Cathy F is. My idea on this one is, and mat under the plant that can be placed in some kind of plastic tray that holds water will give the plant a tropical situation. If not the plarn mat a rubber one?

Hi,

I’m thinking of growing a potted plant on the deck of the house I’m living in.  The problem is that it was built on the wrong side, which makes it very hot in the summertime.  It’s so hot that when I step onto it, I can’t go barefoot until I move toward the swing.  If I need to place it in that hot area, how much would a double thick plastic mat insulate the pot?  The house owner says that all the plants she tried to grow out there died.  I want to grow stevia, which I learned is a tropical and subtropical tree, so I figure it can stand the hot sunlight shining down into it.  Any shielding feedback?

Thanks,
