The fact that the thermal capacity and the thermal conductivity of ice are different from those of water is not taken into account. (And I think that the thermal co...

I want to analyse when the temperature in the pot falls below -5 °C which is critical for the roots during winter. I also want to test how much difference it makes to wrap the p...
