plastic perched over window box

 

I want to propogate some 'Photinia fraseri' (red robin) and it says that i
need a cold frame.

I don't have room for one, but I have a window box with one of those water
reservoirs underneath which I have found very good for propogating some
cuttings before.

My question is;  Is there any neat trick for getting some plastic sheeting
to sit over the window box please, to to create my own mini cold frame?

Also should I make holes in the plastic for ventilation or not?    Thanks
for advice.

I'm thinking some kind of flexible plastic sheeting. ie: A4 size folders
from a stationers. Slit them open to a flat sheet, Tape/glue one edge to the
long side of box, and then form a tunnel shape and pin to opposite edge. End
peices can be cut to shape and sunk into the soil. Pinned side is for
access. Basic idea...............see if you can play with it :)
