Don't know. But would think Cincinnasti would have plenty.

Seascape is highly recommended for coastal California so I don't think you have anything to worry about (other than the plants freezing!!!).

My goal is to move the strawberry plants from out side to 2 gallon containers in to my basement light-box when their chill is reach. The heat from the CFL's over the strawberries will warm up the 2nd story floor of the light box where I am growing my citrus trees. This will keep the citrus roots warm and I'll have lush strawberry plants and fruit very early and healthy citrus trees on the light-box's second floor.

Thanks for the help

16 strawberry plant at ground level in the 48" square light box. The 2 pepper plants have been moved up and the straw berries will grow well with the cooler roots.
